I know the topic of SPAM is HUGE. So, why don't we have a Discussion group on it? What discussion group would you use for SPAM discussions and resolutions?

For example:

In the last few years the face and structure of SPAM and Phishing attacks have changed and most of the business world has tried to adjust to counteract the negative impact such things have upon their on-line business and corporate integrity.

When I receive a SPAM, Phishing Attack, or Spoofed email which uses a Corporate Identity I take the time to let that Corporation know what is happening and, for the most part, they are glad of the notification and the source information for tracking down and prosecuting the ones responsible. Southwest Airlines does not have an on-line SPAM reporting set-up but when I printed out the SPAm and snail-mailed to them, per their request, they promptly took action to track down and prosecute the individual.

But, two large Corporations with a huge Internet presence have told me they do not care to hear about these emails to try to find out who is using their corporate identity or to try and stop the emails to protect their customers. They are:

Circuit City
3Com

What other corporations have this same attitude?

Let me know.

Since this was originally posted I have received a phone call from 3Com telling me they do care and are in the process of "correcting the response" I had received when I contacted them.
