Anatrim is using our domain as a "sent from" server. Any tips on meeting with the offender face to face? I want to track them down and pay them a nice friendly visit so we can discuss the meaning of life. I traced them with whois from KNUTRAZ.COM to LAPNUR.NET to LASBEUM.NET. What are my chances of finding the actual person who did this? I'll fly to China or call a few friends over thier to have coffee with him or her.
Any info will be appreciated and possibly rewarded.
And if you know them let them know how much I am thinking about them.
The only way to stop this is for the people who do this to be able to MEET the people they do it to. Then I think the word will get around and GREED will lose out.

You may want to try placing a bogus order, or making a legitimate sounding "inquiry" into their product. Since they're selling a product, there has to somehow be a way to deal with you. If you come across as a legitimate customer, you might get more traceable info on their location; a phone number, a real web site, etc.--which I'm sure is not in China, but probably the U.S.
Then you can have legal ways to stop them--sue them, open a complaint with their state's Attorney General, etc. Keep good records of every way they have done damage to you.
And if you find and can verify the true source of the Anatrim scam, feel free to post the details public. Spammers are cowards who hide--the last thing they want is to actually be identified publically for what they're doing.
Good luck....... |

| There is no way to stop such a thing... All it takes is Apple's Mail (ok, or Micro$oft's Outlook for you poor MS users out there...) and anyone can do that. It is like faking a return address on an envelope, you can only *physically* stop the person. It will take a revamping of SMTP or other e-mail protocols to fix this, which is not going to happen soon... |

I have three domains which are being used as forged headers/reply @mydomains.
This has been happening for a while now. No one seems to be able to do anything about it.
I recently had one point to a company in Seattle. I called their Sheriffs department and spoke to a low level guy in the cyber crime unit and was told that it would be best for me to start local. IS this the suggested course of action?
After doing a dns lookup the url was registered in China.
Also if someone uses bandwidth on a domain without permission to download files that they do not own. What would be your suggestion on how I should approach something like this?

If you get inundated with delivery failure messages from people to whom you have not sent mail, then you are the victim of a "Joe Job". Look it up in wikipedia.
You may have been chosen at random as the forged sender of a massive spamming run. Or you may have been targetted deliberately as a form of annoyance. Maybe you pissed off a juvenile spammer. What can you do about it? Two things.
1. send every such message to Spamcop. Since all of these messages are unsolicited, they fall into the category of spam. So join up with spamcop.net and install an easy reporting mechanism, like mailwasher (see mailwasher.net). Spamcop will send a message to the administrators of the mail servers that are poorly configured, and send delivery failure messages to someone who is not the true originator. Nobody should configure a mail system that makes that mistake.
2. install a filter that automatically deletes the bounced mail, based on common key words.
In fact, you can do both 1 and 2, since mailwasher provides excellent filters for this purpose. |

"Also if someone uses bandwidth on a domain without permission to download files that they do not own. What would be your suggestion on how I should approach something like this?"
A few years ago I experienced something related to this. I noticed that suddenly my stats went skyhigh for no apparent reason. I discovered a strange combination of lots of hits, but no corresponding pageviews. Finally I realized someone was 'borrowing' one of my images, without asking for permission. I got quite irritated and wondered what to do...
In the end I realized that the situation could be reversed to my advantage. If the 'borrower' only had copied the image, I would probably never have noticed it (and never been bothered either). But each time the other site was loaded it requested the image from my site. So, I changed the filename. Furthermore I replaced the original filename with a new graphic, intended only for this idiot. This new graphic was simply a text (with large letters) telling him something like this: Hey you! Why not ask for permission to borrow a picture - instead of overloading a private page...?!?
It worked. I have since wondered why people don't think more about what they are doing: If you 'borrow' a file from another site, you also let somebody else control part of your own site. In my case I only send a 'message'. But a more malicious person could have done far worse... |
