Stopping Spam

[expatgirl]

Another great site, y'all!

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has a site that you can go to report and help stop companies and organizations from spamming you with unsolicited emails. You may also use it to submit a complaint concerning media violence. I learned of this site from a friend who was being consistently bombarded by one company and also received a few of those "Nigerian" scam letters. She reported them to this site and it stopped. The site is: spam@uce.gov

Yeah, I wished that I had known about this site before I finally had to change my email address----it got to the point where I was averaging 10-20 spam emails a day---and it was so frustrating---people whose livelihoods depend on email are definitely at a disadvantage. Anyway, glad this site might be of help.
