It's really hilarious.  We got dinged by this one by a guy who showed up
with a Consumer's Gas uniform and look alike badge who *had* a photocopy of
our bill and asked to sign to "keep getting the same great service that
we're used to from Consumer's Gas".

We found out about it because of a letter Consumer's Gas sent.  Now we're
stuck with Fred's Gas and Litter Box Cleaning Service and there's nothing we
can do about it for five years.

Hopefully, we won't have a problem...


Hey folks, here's a good suggestion to eliminating the SPAM problem on the
PICList - IGNORE IT!

I count 24 replies to the original note asking to "remove", how to sabotage
the spammer and how to protect ourselves.

I would argue that the spam is only 4% of the problem, we're 96% (I'm
including myself in this because I've actually sent two notes on this one
now telling people to just ignore the original note).
