What Can I Do With the Spam in my In-Box?

Report it to the Federal Trade Commission. Send a copy of unwanted e-mail or deceptive messages to uce@ftc.gov, or send them to this office. The FTC uses the unsolicited e-mails stored in this database to pursue law-enforcement actions against people who send deceptive spam e-mail.

Let the FTC know if a remove me request is not honored. If you want to complain about a removal link that doesn't work or if you are unable to unsubscribe from a list, you can fill out the FTC's online complaint form at www.ftc.gov. Your complaint will be added to the FTC's Consumer Sentinel database and made available to
hundreds of law-enforcement and consumer-protection agencies.

Whenever you complain about spam, it's important to include the full e-mail header. The information in the header makes it possible for consumer-protection agencies to follow up on your complaint.

Send a copy of the spam to your ISP's abuse desk. Often the e-mail address is abuse@yourispname.com
or postmaster@yourispname.com. By doing this, you can let the ISP know about the spam problem on their system and help them to stop it in the future.

Make sure to include a copy of the spam, along with the full e-mail header. At the top of the message, state that you're complaining about being spammed.

Complain to the sender's ISP. Most ISPs want to cut off spammers who abuse their system. Again, make sure to include a copy of the message and header information and state that you're complaining about spam.
