I recieved over 900 spam emails from the EXACT same address last night!

[Toasthead]

Okay I need your help,

This is the last straw. I get into work this morning and decide to check my hotmail account and I have 937 emails in my junk email box! and a warning that I my account has been temporarily disabled. They all came from this address

agharris73x34hjkp@hotmail.com" <agharris73x34hjkp@hotmail.com>

for some allpreapproved.com credit card www.allpreapproved.com
This is taking it WAY too far. I live in California, and I know we MUSt have some law against this here ( we have laws against everything). Does anyone know what I can do to shut these people down, or at least severely hurt them?

thanks,

Toast

It's hotmail, there's not much you can do.

I had the same exact thing happen to me about a month ago, it was some pr0n ad that spammed me with like 700 emails. The thing that pisses me off is that all the emails were in my junk mail folder. Hotmail shouldn't count those against you mailbox total.

Hotmail won't let me add any more addresses to my block senders list.... its at 250 senders and I keep getting tons of spam too

 

[AnthraX101]

*cough* post the IP (it's in the email headers, if you can't find it, just post the entire header) We'll be nice...yeah, thats it!

Happened to me before too. Two days in a row had over 500 emails from same addrs in hotmail. Spam sux!

 

[Fausto]

Post the whole header, I'm sure someone here can help you figure out where everything came from.

hotmail and beer.com are nothing but spam traps. I use yahoo and so far no spam at all.

 

[SyahM]

does this happen to hotmail only? i guess it does ... might be some kind of plot to push hotmail user in buying more storage space ... all in all, spam does sucks!

Don't be dumb, the from field is faked.

First line looks bogus. The IP points to dns2.allyssa.com and the second line refers to www.allyssa.com. I would run the whole spam message including full headers through spamcop and see what it comes up with but it looks like the spam originated from 209.114.198.169 which has no associated domain name with it. If you run it through spamcop's little script it will notify the admin of that block of IP according to ARIN of the abuse.

Everyone that wants to stop spam should setup a spamcop account and paste all their spams into their query engine. It's very good at sorting all the bogus header crap out from the real stuff and even emails the admins for you (and if they get a bunch of complaints the domain is added to the orbs blackhole).
