This is a major concern of mine as I am getting sick and tired of running across these scammers and I personally would like to put a stop to them by as much as I possibly can and the best way that I can see of doing that is by gathering as much information that I can that will help me to shut them down at the source without them being aware of it until it is too late for them.

if you use an on-line email, [yahoo, whatever], just click on 'full headers' - gives you the COMPLETE routings, well, not to the client doing it, but to their portal anyway,

The way that I see it is if they can use techniques that hackers might use to cause a security breach, then why can't I use similar techniques on them to put them out of business.

because you really don't want to / cant break the law to do that, and, it would just lower you to their standards,
but what makes me scratch my head is some of that 'junk' i get from the spammers / scammers ISN'T even addressed to ME, so why does yahoo, gmail, etc., put in MY inbox???

and it seems when i add a new 'filter' - seems to just be MORE from that domain with just A letter changed in the addressing, go figure!!!
there are a few places you can report them to,
- their isp, [as though they really care]
- your local states attourney, [in usa]
- there are a couple federal agencies that deal with this problem,

The Secret Service is apparently tired of getting all your spam so they now request that you contact a field office only if you have suffered a substantial loss.
