    Help me stop this please

    I keep getting this crap in my email :

    Can someone give me details on how I can stop this annoying Sh@te ?????

    I'm a real person writing to you, and I'm telling you this works... Give
    it a try... You WILL make some serious cash !

    Hello

    You may have seen this business before and
    ignored it. I know I did - many times! However,
    please take a few moments to read this letter.
    I was amazed when the profit potential of this
    business finally sunk in... and it works!

    With easy-to-use e-mail tools and opt-in e-mail,
    success in this business is now fast, easy and
    well within the capabilities of ordinary people
    who know little about internet marketing. And the
    earnings potential is truly staggering!

    I'll make you a promise. READ THIS E-MAIL TO THE END! -
    follow what it says to the letter - and you will not
    worry whether a RECESSION is coming or not, who is
    President, or whether you keep your current job or not.
    Yes, I know what you are thinking. I never responded
    to one of these before either. One day though,
    something just said: "You throw away $25.00 going to
    a movie for 2 hours with your wife. What the heck."
    Believe me, no matter where you believe those "feelings"
    come from, I thank every day that I had that feeling.

    I cannot imagine where I would be or what I would be
    doing had I not. Read on. It's true. Every word of it.
    It is legal. I checked. Simply because you are buying
    and selling something of value.

    AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV:

    Making over half a million dollars every 4 to 5
    months from your home.

    THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET!
    ==================================================
    BE AN INTERNET MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!!

    Before you say "Bull", please read the following.
    This is the letter you have been hearing about on the
    news lately. Due to the popularity of this letter on
    the internet, a national weekly news program recently
    devoted an entire show to the investigation of this
    program described below, to see if it really can make
    people money. The show also investigated whether or
    not the program was legal.

    Their findings proved once and for all that there are
    "absolutely NO laws prohibiting the participation in
    the program and if people can 'follow the simple
    instructions' they are bound to make some mega bucks
    with only $25 out of pocket cost".

    DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY & RESPECT
    THIS PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING
    BETTER THAN EVER.

    This is what one had to say: "Thanks to this
    profitable opportunity. I was approached many times
    before but each time I passed on it. I am so glad
    I finally joined just to see what one could expect
    in return for the minimal effort and money required.
    To my astonishment, I received a total $610,470.00
    in 21 weeks, with money still coming in."

    Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey.
    ==================================================
    Another said: "This program has been around for a
    long time but I never believed in it. But one day
    when I received this again in the mail I decided
    to gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple
    instructions and walaa ..... 3 weeks later the
    money started to come in. First month I only made
    $240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made
    a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8 months
    by re-entering the program, I have made over
    $710,000.00 and I am playing it again. The key to
    success in this program is to follow the simple
    steps and NOT change anything."

    More testimonials later but first, =======

    ==== PRINT THIS NOW FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE ====
    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    If you would like to make at least $500,000 every
    4 to 5 months easily and comfortably, please read the
    following...THEN READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN!!!

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND
    YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED!

    Get his IP address from the email header first.

    Actually, post the header here.

    Then do a trace on him.

    If you really want to block him, you should go to your ISP's email account settings and block him and/or report him.

    Also you can use Outlook Express Message Rules to specify that emails from a specific account should be blocked. I don't know if both these steps will permanently get rid of the problem, because these folks keep changing the email servers.

    Open up each page, and look for email addresses you can report these to.

    Also, if you're using hotmail, go to Options>Block Sender, and Insert the above IP addresses in the block sender list.

    I don't think that's your IP address. It starts with 192... so it can't be. Go to DOS and type ipconfig, you should get it there.

    Go to Tools > Message Rules. You can set up some kind of message filtering with it. I dunno how effective it will be though...

    I use MS Outlook rules for every system we use. They are GR8...

    Any e-mails you receive which you feel are junk... put them into the Junk file, and any further e-mails from the sender are placed straight into the junk directory.

    Or... do this. It will work, so be sure to get a read receipt if possible.

    To: [email protected]
    Subject: Data Protection Act 1998
    Body:

    Please remove this e-mail address from your database with immediate effect. Do not pass any details to external companies.

    Any further e-mails will be investigated and passed to the relevant department. Your ISP will also be informed. The trace has been completed and your IP, time & date of the message has been logged for future reference.

    Regards,

    Me.
    That has been used several times, and I guarantee it has worked with every person. If they ever contact you, or sell your personal details to another firm... they can be taken to court. Make sure you print the delivery report from your ISP, which will act as proof should you need to take it further.

    The ultimate spammers nightmare. I am in the process of writing a VB package to automate this process. Look out for VisiSDS at our website. Visi-Spam Denial Service.

    Kind regards,

    Paul.
