From time to time, I get messages saying my earlier email was rejected or blocked for being spam. Is there some way I can get a report on my email address, sort of like a credit check? If my address has a bad reputation, how can I repair it. I am not sending spam, but perhaps someone is spooking me? Thanks.

A reknowned spammer just hit FR, he is probably from Senegal, and has been one of those "A rich uncle has to get $10 million out of senegal, if you give me $10k i can split the money with you" scammers. DO NOT give him your email address, he will sell it to dozens of email spambot networks. I hope this was self evident to the FR community, but would rather be seen as a bit pedantic than have FR be the vector for someone to lose their life savings from a African email scam.

Joe Eboh, a conman who was persuaded to prove evidence of his initiation into the Holy Church of The Painted Breast in a reverse scam Dear Honourable Friend. Those generous Nigerians who e-mail you with promises of a fortune are themselves being targeted in a new drive to deter cyber criminals.

Just when I thought we weren’t going to see any spam campaigns related to the recent announcement of United States President Barack Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, I was proven wrong. Spammers rarely disappoint when a juicy news story hits. It’s like attracting flies to honey. This spam campaign calls into question whether or not Barack Obama deserved to win the Nobel Prize and that significant fallout is being felt around the country as a result. The email then requests that the user click or copy/paste a link into their browser which will direct them to a website...

Review Of The Seventh Chapter Of Signature In The Cell by Stephen Meyer ISBN: 9780061894206; ISBN10: 0061894206; Imprint: HarperOne The distinction between historical and experimental science is one that extends back over the centuries and at its core seems easy to grasp. Whereas historical science has as its focus events that have defined the history both of our planet and larger cosmos, experimental science has its eye on the current operation of nature.The 19th century philosopher William Whewell coined the term ‘palaetiological sciences’ to describe those fields of science, such as geology and paleontology, that have a historical perspective (1)....

IDG News Service - Criminals are waging a nasty online campaign right now, hoping that their victims' fears of the tax collecter will lead them to inadvertently install malicious software.The spam campaign, entering its third week now, is showing no signs of slowing down, according to Gary Warner, director of research in computer forensics with the University of Alabama at Birmingham. This one campaign accounts for about 10 percent of the spam e-mail that his group is presently tracking, he said. "This is the most prominent spam-delivered virus in the world right now," he said.Since first spotting the spam on...

Pit bull takes down 150-pound doe By Erin McClary C & G Staff Writer MACOMB TOWNSHIP — Deputies were shocked to find the scene of what a frantic 911 caller described as a pit bull attacking a deer the morning of Sept. 24. Responding officers couldn’t believe their eyes, said Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel. A 50-60 pound dog had a 150-pound doe pinned to the ground in a Macomb Township neighborhood near North Avenue and Hall Road (M-59). When one of the officers called the dog, he came. He even sat on command. Unfortunately, the officers, after realizing the...

I just watched the classic movie “High Noon”, AGAIN! Gary Cooper played a brave sheriff who brought law and order to his town. As one woman said, “He made it safe for a decent woman to walk down the street”. A recently released outlaw was coming back to town on the noon train to deliver vengeance against the sheriff who put him away. His gang of three arrived early to help their leader take out the sheriff. Fully aware of why the bad men were in town, the sheriff could not arrest them because they had not broken any laws....

PORTER, Texas -- A 3-year-old girl was critically injured Thursday when she was attacked by a pit bull in Porter. The child was visiting her aunt's house on Sweet Gum near Live Oaks. She went in the backyard to help feed her aunt's three dogs and that's when the pit bull attacked, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department. The little girl was taken by Life Flight to Memorial Hermann Hospital. She's being treated for multiple puncture wounds and is in critical condition, according to Detective Mike Landrum.

Security: A Senate bill lets the president "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "nongovernmental" computer networks and do what's needed to respond to the threat. Didn't they just collect our e-mail addresses?We wish this was just a piece of the fictional "Dr. Strangelove" that fell to the cutting-room floor, but it's not. It is a real piece of disturbingly vague legislation sponsored by Sens. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine. Senate Bill 773 would grant the administration emergency powers (where have we heard that before?) in the event of a cyberemergency that the president would have...

Family and friends are rallying around the family on her long road to recovery. “I am looking at a 4-year-old girl that will never be able to breathe out of her nose again,” Melissa Paul told WSBT News. Demonica Paul's parents have had a difficult time these last few weeks. After the pit bull attack in...

The 2009 Darwin celebrations were less than three years away, when my friend and colleague Dr Emil Silvestru, geologist and speaker with CMI-Canada, told me about an idea he had for a documentary film. He reminded me that most people don’t know that Darwin saw himself firstly as a geologist, and that his evolutionary theory was very much dependent on his geological beliefs about millions of years. The strongest influence on Darwin in this regard was...

Cambrian Explosion Caught on Film David Coppedge An explosion is coming: a devastating blast against Darwinism in the form of a dynamite new film from Illustra Media: Darwin’s Dilemma: The Mystery of the Cambrian Fossil Record. The Cambrian explosion, which Darwin admitted was the greatest challenge to his theory, has not been solved in the 150 years since The Origin. In fact, it has gotten much worse. This film does more than demolish a defunct idea. It offers the only alternative that does explain the sudden appearance of all the animal phyla: intelligent design...

Danville, VA-- Wednesday morning, Danville Police responded to the intersection of Kinzer Avenue and Central Street in reference to a pit bull dog chasing children who were at a school bus stop. Responding officers did not locate the dog. An hour or so later at 8:22am, Danville Police were again dispatched to the same location about a pit bull chasing people down the street. Officers arrived and found the dog running loose and learned that a neighbor had already used pepper spray on the dog. The dog approached one of the responding officers aggressively, but the officer was able to...

McDonald's son Richard says his mother is fighting for her life. He says Eleanor was taking her dog outside. That's when she says a Pitbull came around the corner and knocked her down, driving her across the driveway. The fall broke her hip and her hand. She's got the bumps and bruises to prove it. Neighbors pulled the dog off. They say...

Rather than respond to their concerns and alter the plans accordingly, Obama continues to “stay the course” and ignore the will of the people he has pledged to represent. This is an unfamiliar situation for Obama; during the campaign he was often able to charm citizens into agreement with a fell swoop of his elegant rhetoric. Times have changed, though. President Obama will need much more than lofty prose to bring back a country that shifts against him more and more as the days wear on. He is becoming desperate. When the American taxpayer is footing the bill, desperate times...

Did Dems ‘FLAG’ Constituents by Turning in Concerned Voter E-Mails to White House? http://www.breitbart.tv/did-dems-flag-constituents-by-turning-in-concerned-voter-e-mails-to-white-house/

Ron Paul supporters have organized a Book bomb with the intention of getting his latest book to #1 on Amazon.com sales rank. The link contains no referer code. In the post-meltdown world, it is irresponsible, ineffective, and ultimately useless to have a serious economic debate without considering and challenging the role of the Federal Reserve. Most people think of the Fed as an indispensable institution without which the country's economy could not properly function. But in END THE FED, Ron Paul draws on American history, economics, and fascinating stories from his own long political life to argue that the Fed...

To most people, Canadian Pharmacy means just another spam e-mail message promising cheap Viagra pills that is deleted in microseconds – but to David Zimmer, it's a reputation nightmare for his business. ...About once a day, Zimmer says he personally takes a call from an angry victim of the fraudsters.

This morning, Representative Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) was on FOX News with Eric Shawn to discuss the White House spamming scandal. The White House paid a company in Minnesota, GovDelivery, with taxpayer money to send out spam emails promoting Obama’s unpopular health rationing program. The email lists were actually provided by the White House although they originally denied this. Representative McCotter wants the White House to come clean on this latest scandal.

The White House hired a private communications company based in Minnesota to distribute mass e-mails, helping to shed light on how some recipients received e-mails in support of President Obama's health care plan without signing up for them, FOX News has learned.
