Internet Spam Mogul Can't Take What He Dishes Out

West Bloomfield bulk e-mailer Alan Ralsky, who just may be the world's biggest sender of Internet spam, is getting a taste of his own medicine.

Ever since I wrote a story on him a couple of weeks ago he says he's been inundated with ads, catalogs and brochures delivered by the U.S. Postal Service to his brand-new $740,000 home.

Should I do it? Oh, what the hey....

BWAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHA !

[Paleo Conservative]

It's all the result of a well-organized campaign by the anti-spam community, and Ralsky doesn't find it funny.

This is hillarious.

Terrific!

How do I sign him up?

The idea kicked of at http://slashdot.org/index.pl, and if you dig around you can find the thread that has his home address in it.

I looked up the original article about this guy on the Slashdot.org site:

Of course, this really is a joke. And everyone reading it should take it as a joke. Except for that one very special person. Yes, you my friend. You know what you must do...

I believe he is the person behind "Empire Towers"? Who registered hundreds of throwaway domain names.

I deplore and am saddened by that post. He should not be shot.

He should suffer from cancer for several years, then be publicly impaled, slowly, and his family slaughtered in front of him in his last five, shreiking minutes.

The damage he has done is almost beyond calculation, in wasted staff time, bandwidth, damage to reputations of e-businesses in general, and higher ISP fees for everyone.

I hope an example is made of him, and not with junk mail.

People should remember that the senders PAY for sending junk mail.

Spammers, however, send their stuff "Postage Due".

They are thieves. When he states he has "hundreds of servers around the world" he means that he STEALS SERVICES from unsecured relays.

He is getting off easy with joke mail. Much easier than we all are from him and his kind.

Check with freeper Paul Kersey. Maybe he is in touch with Theodore Dalchinksky(sp?). {ggg}

I just turned you in, buddy, for advocating murder on FR. Get lost.

You have a serious problem.

[Darksheare]

You gotta love the spam king. He nails people with tons of electronic mind ooze, and screams bloody murder when he gets nailed back with the paper kind.

The best quote is, "I'm gonna sue!"

Did you hear that?

Hey, chill. He was reposting a post from slashdot.org, a "geek" website, where the story about the spammer was first posted.

Hey, I don't think the guy should be *shot*. Now, maybe something involving pungi sticks, plastic sporks, duct tape, an orbital sander, and Rosie O'Donnell naked, that might work...

And what about that woman in Dunedin, FL featured in the Wall Street Journal?

[Billthedrill]

He turns out to be extremely easy to find, actually. Took me about three minutes. Ah, the magic of the Internet.

I think it would outside the proper sphere of FR to publish his street address and phone number here, so I won't. But if there's another Alan Ralsky in West Bloomfield, I sure pity that poor SOB. In fact, anyone with that name anywhere in the country is probably looking for a legal change about now - "Osama bin Laden" might garner a less hostile reaction.

Love it!

Someone suggested using every possible combination of the Spam King's name when siging him up for catalogs; e.g., Mr. Ralsky, Mr. A. Ralsky, etc.
