Spam busting

bktheirregularI've decided to take a new tack on spam. Someone got hold of my addy and is starting to send out porn spam and marketing dren to my account.
The latest one left a telephone number to call, and I'm taking advantage of it - none of these automated systems where you give out your address and pray they're honest about removing it. No, I am going to try and get a person on the line. And pry out of them where they got my address. And a contact number for those people. And exact a promise to remove my addy from their list.
I'm gonna keep a record of this, I think. Notes as it happens. And I figure if I put it up here as it happens, it will create a nice paper trail.
Anyway.
The offender was identified as Mark, addy hqcwric627@hotmail.com - contact telephone (877) 284-8258, remove-me telephone (888) 529-1703.
Close entry.
