E-DRUG: HGH return spam
-----------------------
As said earlier, the spam to E-druggers was probably based on the
extraction of email addresses from submitted E-drug messages.
We did, however, find out who is behind the email and website
addresses that were used in the spam.
Please complain to your country's regulatory authority or to the FDA,
providing a copy of the spam message, and do not forget to mention the
name of the person you suspect to be behind this (see below).
You could also send a protest email to the people involved (a
"retaliating spam" by E-druggers?)
Send your protest to Mr Albert E Metais at email ametais@WEBSAREUS.COM
USA based e-druggers could phone him and complain at:
(TEL) 617-536-6700
(FAX) 617-247-3222
Happy counter-spamming!

Yet another solution would be to make it perfectly clear to companies that
this form of invasive advertising will not be tolerated.

An email to Albert explaining your disinterest with receiving this sort of
advertisement would not be inappropriate.
