Just wondering, did anyone else get this spam message in their inbox from a company called webfuture?

seems like a new starter playing games trying to get into the scene, looks like they ruined their chances by spamming people.

Never mind, obviously another company to steer well clear of, grr, i get enough spam as it is without this.

Oh well, will people never learn not to spam members of WHT :D

yeah - I know them.
The same http://www.dotxtra2u.net.


My easy way to flush out spammer:

contact his ISP
contact his domain reseller
contact his host/data center provider
contact his data center ISP

and I know it works and is painful.

I know it takes time and sometimes a litlle knowledge is condition sine qwa non.
But really worth. My mail box (3 years old ) is almost free of spam.

and of course nobody say that spammer can't be spammed ... ;> if u know what I mean ;> (I don't mean any agressive action like mail bombing or hacking.)

I find it much more satisfying to know that thousands of people are probably going to visit this thread and get a chance to see their business practices.

Thats probably far more harmful for them than contacting their ISP :D

one more I've forgotten. ... I like to report that activity to spammer databases.
