Im sorry but somone is threathing you with **********...you report it ASAP...

who do I report it to?

This fact that it has a child involved in the message is a serious issue and some random idiot sends you an emai l about that..is a sick individual...there is not much you can do about that except block them as spam and move on with your life...

Regarding reporting if it becomes continious just send a mail to hotmail reporting abuse and spam with the users email..

the ip lead to a vpn server

SpookyLady:
i know thats a solution.but they have allready registered several accounts and claims they can spam faster than i can delete

[Gavo]

try and forward the mail to abuse@hotmail.com


I forward all phishing email to the abuse@ for the company involved

I am 100% sure its a bluff, but just to be sure, close your forums registrations for a while and see whether they spam or not. If they do, ban their IPs and accounts.

[ty180sx]

@Mikey Block Ip range. Or strict posting rule for new members. Or moderated post.
For the Ip. Who is the VPN provider? Any report abuse contact?

[CloudShadow]

Another thing, if you dont want to close registration, you can change some settings to moderate each individual before they are allowed to post, some big forums do this to avoid spam.

So stressed over noting. People spam all the time. Nothing to worry about.




Clever idea by the person who sent it though.

You could improve on the whole system too. Set up a small DDL Site get added to a few autosubmitters and you'll have a large collection of warez webmaster emails in a few days. Auto spam them with threats, not just cp ones but others like reporting their downloads or real names to authorizes and your bound to get a few noobs that will pay as long as you don't ask for too much. You don't need to spam their site, report their downloads just threaten them.

Those guys sending out emails saying I'm the king of a small country in Africa wouldn't be sending out automated emails if their wasn't the odd idiot who gave them details.

You could automate the whole thing and probably get a few noobs to pay.

Block posting without approval?

Install keycaptcha on your forum and delete all the spam related threads and ban the users. I am sure they will get exhausted doing it again and again. Don't worry about something on which you have control. Let them try. It would be a fun for me.
