Case Notes

The mail spam originated at Netcom, which means you can do nothing but complain to abuse@netcom.com. The web site for this company is netcenter.com and is hosted by msen.com. The author of the spam: Mike Mathiesen is author of 'Marketing on the Internet'. Its obvious he sure knows his stuff....

I got a number of the email addresses from the netcenter.com and msen.com web sites.

info@netcenter.com also gives this interesting piece of information:

Greetings, 

DID you know that the average INTERNET ACCESS BILL is $60/mo?

For $60/mo does your Internet Provider give you a Free Portable
Computer to use anywhere in the USA or Canada?

For $60/mo does your Internet Access Provider PAY YOU $100 for each
friend you refer to his service?

For $60/mo does your Internet Access Provider give you Unlimited
Access on his service?

For $60/mo can you access your Provider from any major city in USA &
Canada, and/or use a TOLL FREE NUMBER when there is no local dial up
number?

OURS DOES ALL FOUR.  I bet you can only answer ONLY ONE of these FOUR
questions with a YES.

For more information on our Incredible Internet Access OFFER, you can
do three things.

1.  Dial my FAX ON DEMAND with a Fax Machine, or a Phone connected to
your fax line, Dial 1-703-904-7770 DOC# 376

Just dial up with a phone.  Listen to the prompts.  When prompted to
do so key in Doc# 376 on the telephone keypad.  Then, hit the MANUAL
RECEIVE BUTTON ON YOUR FAX MACHINE.  Don't hang up, the documents you
need are on the way to your fax machine.

2.  Call me at (408) 423-8580 - Mike Mathiesen, author of 'Marketing
on the Internet' in bookstores now from MAXIMUM PRESS.

3.  OR visit my web page at http://www.netcenter.com

Thank You  (PS, DO NOT reply to this email, I don't have time to read
them.  I'm busy signing up dozens of new subscribers each day.  For
more information please do one or all of the above.)
