Hi all,

Just thought I'd post a message providing the detailed information about users who abuse our forum. I am doing this with the hope that you can help contact the ISP (service provider) of the user performing these actions. Alone I cannot do much, but, if we all send complaints, perhaps we can make a difference.

If you are looking to report a user for some reason, simply send an email to the service provider. Most service providers will have an account that starts with "abuse@............." Simply fill in the domain. For instance, any user that comes from comcast.net can be reported by sending an email to "abuse@comcast.net"

Here is the start to the list and I plan to add to it.

Money Man

IP Address 68.63.94.134

Host Name pcp02660386pcs.groton01.ct.comcast.net

Email xsjw84x@hotmail.com

Thanks Mike.

I must have missed something??? What did this a$$hole do exactly?

O Oh a scammer eh? Just saw the other thread. No one here got screwed did they? Lord I hope not :mad:

I must have missed something??? What did this a$$hole do exactly?

This guy posted a bunch of spam messages to the forums. The account is locked. I doubt his email will work.

So we send an email to abuse@comcast.net, but what do we report?

Sorry for being anal, but I have no idea what further info the ISP needs?

Could you provide an example.

Well if we have his IP address which only Mike has access to then it's possible to find out who it was and report him. Hopefully his ISP will warn him or disconnect him for unlawfull activity.

I think what Mike is asking is for us to all complain in the same manner so the ISP will be forced to take action against him..

I did my part and filed a complaint. They ask for the following information.

Network Abuse Submission Guidelines

1.Provide a brief, general description of the network abuse incident.

2.Include all logs or information relevant to the incident, ensure the logs your submitting contain:

a.Date of incident

b.Time of incident and time zone

c.Source Internet protocol (IP) address or host name

d.Destination IP address or host name

e.Destination port

Gav, I'm not computer literate. What I need is an example (probably like 95% of people on this forum) of what to complain about.

For instance you mention IP address, where do I find this?

Mike has a list of goobly gook in his post but it means jack to me?

Dave has a list back from the IP provider, but I think that only Mike has access to the info that they require?

Can someone explain to me or give me an example of the post that I should send to complain>

The complaint is about spamming the forum

a.Date of incident

The date 1/30/06

b.Time of incident and time zone

The time several times through the day Pacific time

c.Source Internet protocol (IP) address or host name

The source IP Address 68.63.94.134

The source Host Name pcp02660386pcs.groton01.ct.comcast.net

d.Destination IP address or host name

The Destination IP address is 216.12.213.105

The Destination host name is classiczcars.com

e.Destination port (none)

That is enough information to lead them to Money Man.

So get out there and complain to Abuse@comcast.net

Unless Mike or another moderator posts the required information, there is no way we can provide much of the information that will be asked for. And the ISP will certainly be aware of that. I doubt that mass bitching about an incident will accomplish anything more than increase the use of the "delete" function at abuse@XXXXXXXX.com
