How to stop dumb kids?

[camaro]

Some retard found a fake email/email bomb program and emails me blank messages. He also emails other people and uses my address as the return address. Emails are over 100K and it's blank. Hmmm.

This is his ip and all the info. He seems to be in Vancouver. These are 3 different headings from emails. If someone wants to hack him, be my guest. Anyway how can I find out his name or email? What would you guys recommend? I got 6 emails in 2 days. It's getting old. And some guy emailed me to take him off my list.

Eh Hopefully if he was dumb enough to download a bogus mailbomb proggie from a script kiddie site, maybe he's already got problems lurking somewhere in his own puter.. One can only hope

You may already tried something like THIS.

gibsinep, My ISP gave out (or entered) my pop mail account to some address that other spam mailers use to flood your mailbox.

How do I know it was my ISP?... They have been on my case concerning the hours I am online, which I reply that I purchased 'unlimited' service.

I have never put my POP email out anywhere on the net because of the spam issue. I have a hotmail account for this purpose, which I can control better than the POP account.

Most...if not all of these spammers have a no return email account that they send their junk to, and return emails to that account are returned to the sender with the error that the account dosn't exist, ect.

Sometimes, it is possible to find the actual email address for some of this spam. In the case where I am able to find the actual address of some of these spammers, I would like to bomb them with hundreds of emails. What software would you advise to use in this case?

many thanks....

[gibsinep]

haha, well Bovon Their is a possibility that your ISP didnt give out your POP mail account, However if you were "hacked" then the hacker could easily find it and send it to a bunch of people. Have you ever gotten a trojan that was a round for a few hours or less?



I have some good links for you about your last question. I am not really into mail bombing as I have other methods to my madness.
Enjoy


I will Pm you the links as I dont think they would go over very well with the admins

Hey, they are not balnk !!! I had similar messages several days ago !!!
It's a virus !!! See that message - it has 1 or 2 attached files.
If you opened one of those massages (i think you opened, because you saw them being blank), then you are probably infected !!! Check yourself !!! And don't infect us !!!

[Bovon]

gibsinep, I am reasonably sure it was my ISP that sold me down the drain. #1, it had been less than two hours after a run-in with them concerning being disconnected from the net at regular intervals, and I have software that tells what and why I was disconnected. I got in touch with the ISP and we had a chat...neither one of us left the phone happy. I began recieving a consideral amount of spam with the notation that I had suscribed for the advertisements...which of course I did not do. The only people that have my POP email address is family, all others have my hotmail address. So, from the foregoind, I believe it would be safe to say that my ISP 'got back at me' with subscribbing my POP email account to this spam account. I unsuscribbed almost immediately when I began recieving the mail...but of course that didn't work, and it only got worse. Anything you have to offer will be appreciated.

Kurylo, no virus or trojan here..I keep the machine clean with several 'cleaners', and of course I never open any file I have not asked for...this plus a good firewall.

[gibsinep]

Well Bovon and am sorry to say but you mad a very big mistake.

Your mistake was actually unsuscribing, all this does it tell the people that it is a e-mail address with a actual person their who DOES answer it. So from their they went and sold your name to 1 person, that person sold it to 10, that ten to 100, that 100 to 1000 and so on and so on.


I really don't know what to tell you. As their is now way of knowing who got it first and how. Also mabey so spyware got into your system. How often to you run ad-aware(or whatever you use) that could have also done it.

Basically you are screwed .

If it's not a virus, you can get some info about the sender here
