The Joe Job I covered the complaint game yesterday, but there is an aspect of this that rates its own topic, the Joe Job. A Joe Job is a term used to describe fraudulent spam.
People are rabid when it comes to spam.
They cease to think rationally and instantly have one focus, terminate the spammer. The way they attempt to do this is by complaining to the ISP that the spammer is using to access the Internet, demanding that the ISP police its user, usually via account termination. So ISP s police it, terminating accounts of those that abuse their network. The Internet is built on the concept of self-policing, it has enabled it to flourish. But in the case of spam, it has also made it ripe for abuse.
