using my gmail account and my real name ... some jacka** has created tons of blog spam. has anyone seen this with gmail? i remember seeing an article a few dyas ago about spam being sent via gmail. i wonder if this is somehow conntected. what can you do about this?
script ... over and over and over again ... exact same posts ... me and others as well ... all with "gmail.com" as a domain. pushing pills. turns out the gmail account they are using under my name isn't even real ... i just registered it now with gmail. wouldn't bother me ... but my name is uncommon ... wouldn't be suprised if there is only one of me not like they are spmming with John Smith. especially when you work on the web ... it's bad.
That gmail is the home of spammers and scammers. Now I do not trust any gmail email. Everyone I know has moved away from gmail.
Anyone can spam using any email address. Mine has been used as a spam address not too long ago. Got tons of confirm emails from just about every known ffa and classified site on the net. These sites do not verify the email used, so they add the spam onto their site and then spam the email.
someone just found my name & ip and made up a gmail to go with it. it's pretty crappy ... they aren't sending mail through my gmail ... just using me as a name/ip in thier blog spamming activities ... sweet huh?
If it's serious enough and you have the resources. . . Contact one of the blogs they are spamming and see if the webmaster can tell you what IP address they are using to make the posts. Then file a John Doe law suit against them and subpoena the ISP and/or the hosting company to find out who they are. Once you have a name, amend the lawsuit with it and make their life a living hell. In some states this would constitute identity theft and you may be able to get assistance from law enforcement (much cheaper). Good luck. .
