I have reason to believe that these scammers are collecting e-mail addresses of our mailing list users, I'm taking this very seriously and would like ask the more experienced of you on what action to take next. I have already forwarded the e-mail to the Federal Trade Commission "UCE@FTC.GOV", and I filled out their form to ensure that they have all the information needed, however, I think that something needs to be done to protect the mailing list users. What further action can be taken? All advice is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. --$êrêciya Kurdistanî PS I will try to attach the original e-mail message, if it does not show up, please feel free to contact me. +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | Welat xwe ava nake, dest bidin hevdu, pist nedin tu dijminî | | Riya azadiyê ne hêsan e, hêviya xwe bernedin, dema me | | nêzîk e. | | | | Hevaltî bi kesên du rû nekin, hevaltî bi hevdu ra bikin | | Ne ji hevaltiya wan kesên pêxwas û rû dirêj, ne bi wan | | kesên xwînperest, ne jî ji yên din. | | | | -$êrêciya Kurdistanî | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ translation provided on request: sereciya@kurdistan.ath.cx
