I prefer to call it a cluestick but whatever floats your boat will work. :) I especially like option number 5 under "SECURITY THREATS" in man 8 syslogd. Additional reporting addresses: FDA [email protected] Send all food and drug (pharmacueticals) complaints here. ie, weight-loss products, sexual stimulants and enhancements, etc.. FTC [email protected] Bounce *all* spam here. Period. SEC [email protected] Send all stock scams here. Pyramid/Ponzi scams [email protected], [email protected] Send these jewels to these folks if they use the USPS. Nigerian Money Scams/419 Scams [email protected] Send these to the US Secret Service. Also, if you're feeling bored and want to give a 419 scammer the run around, respond to them with your telephone number ((202) 406-5850) and fax number ((202) 406-5031). Tell them how overjoyed you are to be helping them with their financial problems. Take note that the numbers above are for the United States Secret Service, Financial Crimes Division. :) It my understanding that some people send their 419 complaints to the Nigerian Police at these addresses: [email protected], [email protected] It was my understanding that the many actual members of the Nigerian government are involved in these scams so YMMV and of course I could be wrong.
