I have been receiving some interesting emails for the last couple months from somebody that I don`t think I know. They got my email address off of ocdetails.com I would imagine. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is a certain person on Autopia that I assisted in banning. ...multiple times. I remember the name with the initials L.L.
Anyway, I finally got tired of deleting them and I reported it to the email provider. They asked me to send them the emails with the full headers and they would investigate. They responded to me today with the registrant`s name (Initials are L.L.), address and phone number along with instructions on how I can contact local authorities to report the abuse. They also said that they would do further investigation and possibly terminate the email account. My attorneys here at work tell me that there is a statutory fine for this kind of thing and with the email provider on my side, I could expect a slam dunk if I decided to press charges. I was just wondering what you guys would do? Deleting the emails isn`t a problem and I really could care less what they say, but getting someone`s email account deleted and getting a judgment put on their record would sure be fun. I don`t know what I could have possibly done to this person to have them email me this kind of stuff. They are borderline stalking me and I don`t mind having their email account shut down. Its not like a free Yahoo or Hotmail account, so this could also mean that they lose their ISP altogether. What do you think? Should I take the high road and just continue to laugh at the emails, or should I cooperate with the email provider and have them shut down? Since I am fairly sure the person sending me emails will read this, I would suggest that they stop sending them. I`d hate to have to embarrass them when they have to explain to their wife why the ISP canceled their service and my attorneys are sending them letters requesting them to stop harrassing me.
