dear Bogus Barrister, I went searching for a website where I can report spam emails and I found your website. I had been using spamcop.net to report them. This morning I submitted one spam email message to spamcop and it is important because the website linked in the email goes to a website that downloaded three computer viruses into my computer. All three viruses are variations of the Trojan Horse generic28. You have received 3 new messages from Chris Click here to view your messages : To view the original version you must visit the page below: Click here to view your messages : If your email is not (email redacted) please disregard this message. Thank you, Admin The viruses came from clix2themax.net/swap/ As soon as I submitted this spam, Spamcop tells me my submitting privileges have been revoked. Reporting privileges suspended Tuesday, May 22, 2012 2:45 PM From: "SpamCop Administrator" <service@admin.spamcop.net To: "SpamCop User" In the 24 hours starting Tue May 22 07:36:17 2012, you have submitted over spams for processing, which exceeds our daily submission limit. No more submissions will be accepted. Your reporting account is disabled. Please reply if you are reporting spam in good faith and feel your account should be reinstated. Over how many spams??? It doesn't even give me a number. Sure, would have looked even more ridiculous putting a 1 in this notice. Are there any reliable places to report my spam messages? I will never use spamcop ever again. |

spamcop is worthless

I got hit with the same thing this morning. I submitted exactly 2 spam reports yesterday and have been using Spamcop for years. I can only assume that Spamcop has a bug. I have replied to their email. We shall see. I do have to say that I am not a happy camper.
ReplyDeleteI think its possible that their website was hacked. I noticed that my page kept jumping to spamcop.net/sc
ReplyDeleteYes, every once in a while, an attack on or glitch in SpamCop causes such issues. As of this writing, you should no longer have the problem (but it could return).
