Have You Gotten Spam from Richoid.com?
Jan 2, 12:02 PM by Rich Webster
Over the last couple months, some evil spammer out there has hijacked my domain to use in the “from” field of their Viagra, etc. junk emails. Research so far appears to give me no recourse. These spammers are apparently offshore, beyond the reach of authorities, lawsuits, and apparently, from basic human decency, as well.
If you’ve gotten spam from richoid.com, I feel for you… I get that spam too, and the bounced emails that don’t reach anyone, as well! I will continue to try to find a way to do something about it, if I can.
This seems to be a case of having my email out there too much, which is the inevitable result of having created numerous websites and having a blog.
I am going to begin to work to obscure my email links within my sites, and use form-to-email scripts whenever possible, however that is a bit like closing the barn door after the livestock has left the building.
Anyway, it isn’t me. I consistently council my clients to not spam, never respond to spam, and support whatever mechanisms exist to fight spam, at all times.
If anyone has any good and useful advice, I welcome it.
