Note from the Listowner re: SPAM
by Yvonne James-Henderson
All of Rootsweb has been hit by these spammers. I apologize and they have
been reported to the FTC. Please do not re-send their messages to this
list.
We have all seen them.
I will be making this list a closed list, that means that only people that
are subscribed to the list are able to post to it. That isn't always the
answer, as some notorious spammers, such as the last one, actually
subscribed to the list, then post their spam.
FTC (Federal Trade Commission) now has the special address where you can
forward any spam whether it is get rich quick scheme or dirty/porn spam.
The address is uce(a)ftc.gov.
They issued warnings to more than 1,000 spammers few days ago that they
are attracting the law enforcement now.
So forward (always forward!) such spam messages to uce(a)ftc.gov
Good luck in your quest,
Yvonne, Listowner
