[jasmts@yahoo.com: :Huge Crash in US Stocks Coming ?…Find out how to protect yourself and/or profit fr om it.]

Hello, As you can see from the attached email, somebody is sending Unsolicited Commercial Email to my private email address. The spammer claims to be "James A. Shepherd", and claims to represent the company "Market Timing Service, Inc.". The spammer advertises the url "http://www.jasmts.com/2000bvi213" but uses a return email address of "jasmts@yahoo.com". The spammer apparently sent this garbage via direct SMTP from a (dialup?) address of 63.224.217.156 on 31 Jul 2000 21:23:26 -0000 (that's Greenwich Mean Time). The spammer claims to have purchased my email address from a "list", but the email address was in fact harvested from an old posting on the PHP Online Manual. To the people of uswest.net: Please send a copy of your Acceptable Use Policy (which I trust forbids the use of your network to send Unsolicited Commercial Email) to your user who was dialed up to 63.224.217.156 on 31 Jul 2000 21:23:26 -0000 (that's Greenwich Mean Time). To the people of yahoo.com: Please send a copy of your Acceptable Use Policy (which I trust forbids the use of your mail service in support of Unsolicited Commercial Email) to your user at "jasmts@yahoo.com". To the people of jasmts.com: The spammer went to some trouble to appear to be an authorized representative of your company. The spammer claims that my email address is part of a "purchased email list." I would very much like to know what scum harvested my email address from an old posting on the PHP Online Manual and is (still!) selling it to spammers around the world. In the event that this is truly the way your company does business, please be aware that I most strongly protest this waste of my network resources, my time, and my patience. To the people of pancom.net: Please forward a copy of your Acceptable Use Policy (which I am sure forbids the use of your network resources in support of Unsolicited Commercial Email) to the administrator of the domain "jasmts.com". To the people of php.net: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE remove my posting (email address "bobv-php-manual@pillars.net") from the PHP Online Manual. Thank you all. -- Robert August Vincent, II (pronounced "bob" or "bob-vee") bobv@pillars.net, geek@large.
