UCE from questionable SEO firm

AAAaaauuuuuggghhh!

[Filipe]

[some well known seo/spam company that sends out UCE] is driving me crazy with their e-mails. They found my e-mail address sitting on a colleagues site, then sent me an e-mail saying:

"I visited [URL GOES HERE], and noticed that you're not listed on some search engines! I think we can offer you a service which can help you increase traffic and the number of visitors to your website."

Blah blah, they're going to make me dominate the Internet for a few dollars because I am just that stupid.

If you, or anyone else receives these emails, forward them to [e-mail] (United States Federal Trade Commision) with "SPAM" as the subject header.

Then go to your local search engine, and e-mail them saying the company employs SPAM tactics, and explain (so they may not be spamming on their website, but they're spammers nonetheless, and who better to police the Web than search engines).

Finally, report the hell out of them:

[spam.abuse.net...]

Lots of people want to stop SPAM from bothering their machines - but it's so much better to stop it at its source. SPAM won't go away, but at least we can take care of the ones that annoy me =D
