I Screwed Up

Well, I screwed up. Heard some time ago that you should not unsubscribe from unsolicited e-mail. It just confirms your e-mail id.

Was getting too many unsolicited e-mails and without thinking I tried to unsubscribe. in order to clean up my inbox. Well, a week later I am receiving 4 times as much junk e-mail. That is not to mention e-mails about oll the millions of dollars I have won or inherited.

Today I received an e-mal from the absolute worst scam on the Internet. It was a death threat. To read about it go to http://www.blogcatalog.com/search.frame.php?term=death+threat+scam&id=1f9df8c45ae313a93af3cd1eeec18894 . Scroll down and read it. I received it word for word.

It seems to start with my genealogy web site. Have tried another tactic. Went to http://www.searchenginegenie.com/Dangerous-user-agents.htm and copied the latest dangerous user agents to my robots.txt file. Too soon to tell if it will work. Hope something works. My web site and e-mail id have been out there for years. Have made many family contacts and have used the id for most of my personal correspondence. Changing it will be a very last resort.

Should anyone read this besides me, contact me by leaving a comment and share your ideas with me.
