A guy from a certain country of the world enters in an Internet Cafe, opens a free email account, gets
a free autoresponder and then ... starts spamming you. Every day you will receive his unsolicited messages.
Can the spam laws protect you? No way! You will never know who was that guy from the other side of the world.
However, let's suppose you will waste your time and find who the spammer is. But did you ever think that the spam law you believed that is protecting you does not apply to that guy? Well, you should know that what's not legal in your country may be legal in another country, and vice-versa.
Then ... what kind of laws are these laws that do not protect you? And why these laws produced an earthquake in the whole world of the ezine publishers?
Well ... unfortunately a few days ago I found out why! Because these "laws" do not protect the good guys, but the bad guys!!!
So far the spammers were hidden behind a free email account used maybe only one time. Obviously you
had no "ammunition" to fight against them. OK, you were able to filter that email address, but within one minute the spammer obtained another free account.
So ... really no "ammunition".
A few months ago the new spam laws appeared on our table and the spammers scored another victory! We
are afraid of these laws, but they are not. Some of them are no longer hidden behind an anonymous email address.
Now they attack you and use these laws against you using another weapon: the blackmail!
A few days ago, one of my "subscribers" suddenly replied to the latest issue of my Ad Co-ops News
and warned me that he will report me as a spammer. OK, I could understand if he forgot that he subscribed to my ezine and he also forgot he received it weekly during the last months. I could also understand IF he would warn me that he will report me if I will continue to send him my ezine. But he didn't ask me to remove him from my mailing list! You know what he wanted?
For me to join a program using his affiliate link (a long advert was inserted in his message) OTHERWISE he will report my email as spam!!!
Maybe you won't believe it, but the message was signed and this guy provided also an alternative email address (the back up address he provided when he signed up) and a phone number (I wasn't so curious to spend my money calling a spammer)!
Join spammers' programs or you will be punished!
Now the spammers attack in the daylight!
Take care!
