Who steals my purse steals trash, but he who filches from me my good email address...
Just got this message at my work email address from an admiring stranger:
My response:
Oh yeah, good luck with the DOJ. Readers of this blog well know the utter ineffectiveness of the federal government when it comes to stopping any form of fraud or commercial malfeasance.

You have harassed me for too long now and I have reported you and the moviepass to the Justice Dept in California. I have tried your one time removal and you have ignored. I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore. Unless you remove my email address(withheld@dc.rr.com) expect to hear from the Justice Dept and they have a special email address for your kind of personalities.

Just got your message here at work. Can you send me an example of my "harassment"? If this isn’t some kind of put-on or ploy of its own, I suspect perhaps you are being contacted by spammers or some other type of internet vermin who have somehow misrepresented me as themselves.
If you can send me an example, I'll pass it along to my sysadmin here and do what I can to stop whatever I may be doing. But I get the unsettling feeling that my email address may be getting spoofed and beyond my control. You’ll probably want to investigate spam filters or get a gmail account (which has a very powerful spam filter built in), if it is a spam problem.
By the way, never ever bother with those "one-time removals", they’re just a way spammers verify that you’re a live email address that can be shared among all their miserable ilk.
