Spam has become a big problem for people and the federal government is cracking down on offenders. ISP hosts who support ISP addresses or websites that are used to spam are more than happy to terminate service and turn evidence of this electronic fraud over to the Federal Trade Commission for censure, fines, and possibly prosecution. Now, as we all know how impossible it is to be removed from Scientology spam services, here's a nifty little trick to not only get yourself blacklisted from their email spammers, but add yet another legal drip to the evidence being collected against the CoS. Every little bit helps as it establishes violations under the FTC and a consistant pattern of harassment and internet solicitation.

One of the fist steps to take when dealing with spam is to report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Send a copy of the unsolicited email to [email protected]. Your email will then be stored in a database, so that the appropriate measures can be taken to deal with those at the heart of the offense.
If your request to be removed from a mailing list was not honored, you should also report to the FTC. Simply fill out the online form located at www.ftc.gov. This will send the site to the FTC's Consumer Sentinel database so that both law enforcement and consumer protection agencies may access it.
You should also send a copy of the email to your Internet service provider (ISP). Normally, their abuse desk will have the email address [email protected], or [email protected]. This will alert them to the problem and help them to prevent it in the future. Likewise, you should also send a complaint email to the sender's ISP. They are usually glad to rid themselves of anyone abusing their system.
When reporting spam email, you will need to have the full header of the email you received. Most email programs have a method of acquiring this information. For example, if you use Microsoft Outlook, here are the steps you need to take:
Left click the email in question and click on 'Properties'.
Click the 'Details' tab, and then 'Message Source' - this will make the full header of the email available for viewing. You should then copy and paste this into the body of the email you send for reporting spam.
If you are unclear on how to retrieve this information, consult your email software's FAQ page on their website.
In addition to the FTC, there are other online services that will report spam on your behalf. One of the most reputable among them is SpamCop.com. These sites will report the spam on your behalf to the ISP. Although this can oftentimes be more convenient, it will mean the spammer won't have any legal action taken against them.
The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, collects complaints about companies, business practices, identity theft, and episodes of violence in the media.
