Dayton, OH | Whats wrong with that? Hey, it worked for me! I sent him the money, he sent me nothing, and He got rich. Perfect.
Seriously, I think if a scam artist is using DSLR as a reference than this news item should stay on top for a few weeks.

But your right, that is pretty scary in its self. | |

| | | Too bad that people can't advertise using E-mail. Everyone is forced to pay huge fees for banner advertising campaigns (average of $20 per click).
It's great that the Internet has imploded. With few businesses spending money, technology advancements will grind to a slow pace.
In every arena, there are scammers. Whether its E-mail or postal mail, etc.
Take this web and shove it..... | |

| They link here???? Is that AFTER they get the money???
If before, then any he gets really are suckers.
I have gotten a few versions of it.
Basically the tweaks need involve nothing but a very simple 10 line or less script to rewrite the registry entries. That's all.
Just a shame someone would prey on those who can't seem to manage to put simply "DSL" into Google where last I checked DSLR would come up first on the first page.
(Not to mention just the annoyance of spam)

Plymouth, MI |  If anyone gets this report it with Spamcop.
You will need to register a contact address with them and also make sure your e-mail program displays full headers for it to work.
There are both a pay version and a free one. The free one should suffice for beginners. Once you have gotten used to it the pay version works well too. More features and no nag screen. This is a potent weapon in the fight against spam.

I don't believe anyone at ftc.gov is interested... I wish they were, but..
My favorite "outside" agency to report to is fraud@uspis.gov, whenever I get spam that purports to use the USPS to carry out some or all of the spamscam. My sister is a Postmaster.

Go to »spamcop.net and use their reporting form. It will deobfuscate the URL's, generate reports to all of the ISP's involved and send them for you.

Much easier is to forward the spam to spamcop@spamcop.net, and then you'll get an email back with a couple of URL's for reporting the spam. One URL is for members, and the other is for non-members, i.e.; non-paying members.
I do it all the time from my family's many AOL accounts, and keep their mailboxes clean. Of course, they all trust me not to read about Aunt Agnes's diarrhea or Uncle Milt's flatulence, but sometimes it can't be helped, and then I need some fresh air, at the very least....

Fort Lauderdale, FL | This may surprise you.. What this company/person is offering appears to be quite legal, (other than the current laws re: spam requests for removal).
This seems to be nothing more than an offering for a "tweak" that is common knowledge among broadband users, (RWIN/MTU adjustment).
Since the "FEDS" don't prosecute those who send SPAM and take advantage of the "uninformed", I have a suggestion.
Let's form a posse', bring a rope, & go lookin' for SPAMMERS...:) | |

|  It's a lot like what Bonzi was doing
Internet (you know the ones that say "Your
Internet Connection is not optimized. Download
Internet Boost 2000 now.")
They were basically doing the same thing for
dial up as what this spam claims to do for
broadband connections - that is charging for
simple tweaks that can be done for free. They're
both preying on newbies who don't know how to
change basic settings on their machines. And both,
while legal, are pushing the envelope when it
comes to scams. Also I wonder if you were to convert
that URL back to decimal, would you get this guy's
IP address?

| | | Re: It's a lot like what Bonzi was doing Ah, yes, Ponzi software. All of their software is evil adverspamming spyware crap. They even pushed a "firewall" that instead opened up ports all over, inviting hackers with port scanners to take a peek. | |
|
| | I never get spam, but haven't companies learned spam doesn't make them as rich as writing good software and haveing people like it? | |

| | DOWLOAD IT NOW FOR FREE! Spammer is an idiot he has a hole that you can find that links to his download page!!!

| lots of spam but lots of takers
funny i only get spam in my hotmail mailbox, almost NEVER in my isp mailbox.
i would say i find it amazing that people pay for this, but i also know people who paid $30 for RealPlayer plus, and those who pay $23 a month for AOL so i have ceased to be amazed. | |
