SPAM SUCKS FIGHT BACK! but you can fight back IF YOU KNOW HOW. Unsubscribing does not work 99 percent of the time so best not to try. What you do is send your spam, with the full headers, to uce@ftc.gov if you noticed the ftc is joining forces with various isp's and closing various spammers.

Also, here is a tip for those spam promoting a toll free number. 1-800,1-888,1-877, etc... these numbers are free for you to call. But get this, the spammer is paying for the call. O.K. make THEM pay! Write this down, never call a toll free number from home, work or a favorite hang out, use a pay phone outside, in a mall or airport. I travel often so while i wait at the airport i dial away. I keep a list of spam numbers to call, you can try it too. Most of the time you get a machine to answer, so leave a bogus reply, thank them for the spam, etc. Sometimes the machine keeps recording if you keep talking, so talk. I sometimes sit down and read a newspaper or book, aload, into the phone.

YES, you can make them pay. Call the spam number back from another payphone later. YOU will soon see these numbers being turned off. But sometimes, you get a spammer to answer the phone. Just stay calm, try not to get angry. Just say hi, and say something like "i got this email, i do not remember what about, but i did write down this number.." Spammers love hearing that. Sometimes they tell you about all the websites they have and everything they sell. A few times i have had the spammers stay on the line for an hour or more. I even call them back again in a day or two and start all over, just changing my voice a little.

Just try a get a toll free number yourself! You will pay 25 cents up to 75 cents, or more, per minute for every call you get. Read that again! YES, PER MINUTE!!! YES, MAKE THE SPAMMER PAY!!! Try it, i have closed may websites and phone numbers this way. I am not doing it alone. I need you to help. If we fight back we will win.

If i can find a webmaster, i will set up a website with all the tips and successes, but until then you can email your questions to me at josephweglarz <at> yahoo

You are very welcome. Yes, these few tips really work. Together, just a few people can really make those losers pay! Just the other day i read in the paper how a spammer is going to court for not paying his phone bills... he set up a few toll free numbers, i wonder if i called a few... anyway he owes the phone company a fortune and cannot pay. Just one of many success stories. The more of these guys we put out of business, the sooner we can enjoy the internet again, especially our email accounts.

Let me know your success stories as well. I will try to find an honest webmaster to set up a website for tips as well as success stories. My last webmaster stole a lot of business from me even though i paid him very well. So be careful.

You can email me your tips to josephweglarz <at> yahoo <dot> com . Naturally you can keep the spam to yourself but i am happy to chat by email, all those chat programs are not secure so i do not use them. Speaking of secure, is your computer secure??? Did you update your virus program? Why not???? Do you have a spyware checker and spyware blocker? I highly recommend 2 of them, both free.... i will have a link on my temporary website soon so have a look. Some spyware on your computer belongs to some spammers, and once the spyware is gone you will notice your spam volume will go down, in other words you will get less spam.

I am here to help you. So feel free to ask any questions. Since i work full time from home i am always around. josephweglarz <at> yahoo com

I almost forgot... this stuff is not a secret! Just tell someone about these tips. Just tell 2 people, someone may thank you for it. Also, ask them to share this with 2 people as well.

If you have a website, why not add some of these tips??? Do you have an ezine or email newsletter? Why not share these tips with your readers? I will be happy to write something if you like, i have before...

Try it... you will like it

Sorry for going on and on about this but i remember a time when opening my email was fun. I miss those times... i want them back...and i am doing something about it. You can too.

Hi! Your ideas are great. You sound a lot like my husband. When telemarketers used to call (we finally had our home phone of 30 years disconnected), he was hilarious. If it was a cable solicitation, he would start asking the solicitor what channels they had, which movies they had seen, etc. He just turned the conversation around. If someone called and said we won a prize, he said, "Great! Mail it to me!!" and hung up the phone. Once when someone asked for me, he said, "This Rayna." The solicitor started giggling more and more with every answer. Finally, she was laughing so hard that she hung up on him!!

Thanks again.

Great solutions you came up with yourself, sorry you needed to change your phone, more peope need to take action. We can fight back, ask your isp what it is doing? Ask your congress people what they are doing? Do they support the CAN-SPAM bill? Why? and why not?

Always remember to report your spam to the ftc. Send the spam with full headers to uce@ftc.gov I know you get a lot but how bad you you want it to stop? Just report one or two, that is all, plus ask two other people to do the same. That is the key, multiplication, if you report just one spam, and ask 100 people to do the same imagine what can be accomplished.

For example i was surfing the net in a tea shop the other day and a stranger started to talk to me, about surfing the net from the coffee shop, plus other things...after a short while he said he rarely goes goes online because of spam. He mentioned spam so i said, 'do you report the spam?' he asked what i was talking about, i went to a few websites and showed him. I gave him a sheet of paper and wrote the email address for him and at the top wrote 'report all spam with full headers, if you can, to uce@ftc.gov ' just a few days after i got an email from him, he said he works for a company that sends an ezine to over 10,000 people and he got permission to share 'my secret' with the readers. Long story short, within a week i got over 300 replies, my email was part of the story, whin 2 weeks 2,000 people replied and or asked questions.

That is what can happen if you try it. Just tell one other person to try it. As always, your tips and suggestions are always welcome. I may set up a tips website if i can find a webmaster to do it for me. Until later...keep your hopes and dreams alive
