These folks are always looking for good story ideas, and potentially fraudulent junk mail on the Internet makes a clear story that's easy to explain. Pick up the phone and call a local station that produces a nightly news program. Ask for the name of the editor who handles consumer affairs and the mailing address of the station. Write that person a letter concisely explaining the problem. Draw on your own experience and use language that their viewers will understand.
Most users receive at least a few messages every day, and many users receive dozens.
Spam is the Internet equivalent of junk mail, but much worse. Internet users must frequently pay to download each message they receive, whether they solicited the message or not. Paper junk mailers pay almost all of the social cost of their activities, but spammers create significant costs for Internet Service Providers and message recipients. Junk mail on paper, furthermore, is strictly regulated by postal inspectors and strong mail fraud laws, whereas spam has been almost unregulated. Reputable businesses realize that spam violates the cultural norms of the Internet.
