SEC Institutes Proceedings Against Rodona Garst

Hayzeus writes: "The SEC has instituted administrative proceedings against Super Spammer Rodona Garst. For those of you who don't know already, Ms. Garst was allegedly hacked by someone furious that she had forged his domain name on repeated spam mailings. Lots of pretty embarrassing stuff (including photos!) were subsequently posted to the net. The original site is down, but the link above should work."

As a small business owner in the Internet information propogation industry, and like many of the members of Slashdot, I hate SPAM. I would like to submit a list of anti-SPAM proponents, in the form of a Slashdot thread. So, if you support the prosecution of SPAMers, please post a response to this message containing a valid email address so that we may avoid any chance of identity theft. Thank you for your help. Down with SPAM!

It's such a shame to see...

An honest to goodness spammer led astray to the darkside of stock market manipulation, which happens to be very illegal...

Oh I shall be so upset when they are rotting in jail, or bankrupted for the rest of their natural life- I just don't know how I will manage to console myself...

Whoooohhooo! Yes! Going dowwwwwwn! ;-)

doing my part...

I thought I would do what I considered my duty, so I called one of the listed contact numbers for Rodona to let her know how I felt about her activities. To my suprise I got an answering machine. Thinking I would see what happened I pushed a coulple of random buttons on my phone's keypad, and suddenly I was granted access to the voicemail! She currently has two messages, one from who is apparently her husband ("Hi honey, you there?") and someone named Tonya. I tried it twice, and it worked both times!

Do your duty as a fellow slashdotter and call this spammer and leave her a message, or listen to her messages!

I'm not kidding, this really works! (or at least it does until 10000 slashdotters call her phone...) I hope it is still her number, "Tonya" left a message for "Robin" not "Radona" so the number may have changed.

Anyway, it is this number: [phone] Rodona Garst 1226 Cobblestone Ln Clarksville TN 37042-5890

Honestly, if she can not continue spamming, what is she going to do? Freakshows and haunted houses are not the most popular entertainment on fun fairs these days.

Good idea. Let me be the first to aid your cause.

Spamming spammers

[Scaba]

Heh. This [deekoo.net] must be the person who received literally thousands and thousands of mortgage leads from me. The form fields are very familiar to me. I was bored one day, so I wrote a little app that I would plug those mortgage spam sign-up forms into, and it would randomly generate names, addresses and phone numbers and repeatedly submit the form, with a short, random delay in between submissions. I remember once letting it run up over 5,000 submissions to the same site. Not that I cared that they knew my data was fake, I just wanted to make it impossible to find real data in that mess. I should try to dig that little app up...
