Name and shame!
Report them to spamcop ....
Always report spam to the ISP / national authority in charge of this from the country of the spammer source. This will immediately lower the chances of more spam.
It's a bit stronger (which wouldn't be hard)What is the Irish law on email spam? Is it like CANSPAM
Often reading of security related articles shows that irish authorities have been pretty hard on spammers over the past years.
YesThat was for companies sending SMS spam, wasn't it
for ireland id reccomend comreg, they have made a few high profile seizures over the last few weeks based on unsolicited marketing and database gathering.
I assume you're talking about Yahoo webmail users?1) Point your cursor at their avatar and click on <block user> - that puts a spammer on the list of blocked users in your profile and enables you to later check up on the account.
2) Click on their avatar and check their lists of questions and answers. If possible, report 6 (!) of their spam posts. Once you become a trusted reporter (TR), which will happen once the YAT (Yahoo Team) realizes that you report reliably, the first 5 posts will get deleted automatically. Reporting the 6th spam post brings the case to the attention of the YAT and somebody will review the case in person.
3) How to report: hit the report flag, on the next page mark the top circle, also put <spam> in the box provided.
4) Unfortunately the YAT hasn't found a way yet how to get such spammers banned permanently. Often times their spam account gets deleted after just one day, but they create a new account and come back immediately spreading more of their junk. So all we can do is reporting them...:-(
