This is a link to a very long thread about some people who are trying to track down a spammer. It's really long but they do dig up some interesting info about the guy. Apparently he runs 6-8 sites sending spam and frauding people...

Something they mentioned but have not yet done is, post some pictures of the guy's house and office. They actually dug up his address... its' in the Miami area. I know some of you Miami LOD look for any excuse to drive around town... wanna help? Take some pics of these addresses?

probably his home addr:
135 Alpine Road
West Palm Beach, FL 33405

business:
411-413 36th Street
West Palm Beach, FL 33407

He seems to specialize in spamming for anti-spam software (grrr!) I wnoder how much mail I've received that came through him...

RE: Spammer on the run

There was an article about a guy who got sued by service providers for sending spam through their network. So he built a house in the detroit area and bought all his own equipment to send the spam out of his basement. The Detroit Free Press did a story on it, about a year ago, i think. They wouldn't mention the guys address, but they mentioned his name, and made a point to say that his address was available through such and such using the freedom of information act. I haven't heard anything about it since, but i wouldn't be too surprised if the house was burned down by now. I'd be disappointed if it wasn't. :)

MIKE WENDLAND: Internet spammer can't take what he dishes out

December 6, 2002

West Bloomfield bulk e-mailer Alan Ralsky, who just may be the world's biggest sender of Internet spam, is getting a taste of his own medicine.

Ever since I wrote a story on him a couple of weeks ago (http://www.freep.com/money/tech/mwend22_20021122.htm), he says he's been inundated with ads, catalogs and brochures delivered by the U.S. Postal Service to his brand-new $740,000 home.

It's all the result of a well-organized campaign by the anti-spam community, and Ralsky doesn't find it funny.

"They've signed me up for every advertising campaign and mailing list there is," he told me. "These people are out of their minds. They're harassing me."

That they are. Gleefully. Almost 300 anti-Ralsky posts were made on the Slashdot.org Web site, where the plan was hatched after spam haters posted his address, even an aerial view of his neighborhood.

"Several tons of snail mail spam every day might just annoy him as much as his spam annoys me," wrote one of the anti-spammers.

Ralsky is indeed annoyed. He says he's asked Bloomfield Hills attorney Robert Harrison to sue the anti-spammers.

Poetic justice :) :) :). Did he stop to think the ramifications if he wins the suit? Wouldn't that allow every joe schmo in the country to come on by and sue him for a chunk of his pie?
