The Federal Trade Commission is joining in the fight against SPAM. So they opened an email address: spam@uce.gov
They want people to forward spam they receive to the FTC as they will put it in their "database". From the FTC,
The FTC’s spam database has served as the basis for FTC cases involving pyramid schemes, money-making chain letters, credit card scams, credit repair scams, bogus weight-loss plans, fraudulent business opportunities, and other scams that were promoted via email.Great theory, right? Finally, the government does something worthwhile. Well, guess what? The forwarded emails are being returned due to processing error. Wonder if the email is overloaded with SPAM? We'll see what happens.
By the way, Vegas is great.
