I'm a success. My email address has been usurped for spam mailings and they claim it's a MSN newsletter that I've enrolled for. ...they even send mail to me.

Do they do this to everyone and my address is only being used to mail me?
or are they using the MSN >  <  fraudulently as I suspect?

Earlier I was getting email from mmyself about penile enhancement products and I wrote to my email provider and asked if there could be a hacker because the source of the email was from me without any of the usual odd it's really from xyz.netwiz.crap  Understandably I was told that wasn't possible and it sounded a bit indignent to me! ...

Now I've gotten another and it's all about viewing a nude Anjelia Jolie

So, I write to my email provider, who is my former family owned and operated ISP provider...and I ask:

"Can you tell from this who is actually sending the email?
it is the m17-17.intnet.bj([81.91.226.227]) correct?

Is there any way I can report them? Will spam@uce.gov do
anything if I tell them about this. (that's the gov site for spam
reporting according to Kim Komando!)

I am not a spammer. I haven't had any repercussions from lthis
as yet that I'm aware of but I do not want this email address of
mine to be blocked or placed on spammer lists which it must have
been by now.

Any assistance or info on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Sincerely
Beth Schmillen

Beth... the information below might not be exactly what you need in this particular case; I use these quite often for the purposes below:

hoaxes@trendmicro.com FOR E-MAIL HOAXES claiming they have money for you , etc
419@419scam.org To Report suspected SCAMS
www.consumer.gov/idtheft For ID theft reporting to the Government

Beth, by the way, did you get one about a pic of Brad Pitt? :))

thanks for those links Mastertikitak!

No pics of Brad available that I know of or I might have been tempted to
see what his double looks like!

The other way of reporting spam that I heard of from the Kim Komando
show is just forward it to spam@uce.gov

but with my name on it? I don't think so! LOL.... they might not be
that thorough at looking at the source and seeing I'm not the spammer!

Live Mail's new features should be able to help you, Beth... These obvious fraud emails in your name should be reported as they come up!

My very best to you and yours! :)
