Two options...
1) Forward the mail to abuse@ your ISP's domain. Chances are it will be forged headers and not traceable. Abuse teams are usually very busy as well.
2) http://www.met.police.uk/computercrime/index.htm is a specific team for Computer related crime including ****. Might be out of their 'area' geographically but a good place to start.

$hit that's awful [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Sorry - no idea where you would begin complaining... maybe your ISP could help / direct you...
Bad enough to get sex related spam via e-mail, but child related? Unbelieveable! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Clare I am moving it to non-scooby related, I feel it a bit more appropriate, I am sure the muppets will have plenty of sensible answers, but there will be more people looking in non-scooby.
I hope you get this sorted!

Ewwww![img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
I like to believe those things are hoaxes/lies. I'm guessing it's fake, because it's very illegal and including the street address doesn't make sense. Someone is trying to cause problems.
If you go to the website, it pops up the following message:
Important information
We have recently been a victim of a nasty spam attack.
Claiming that this site has child ****.
We Do not promote or tolerate child **** in anyway.
The person sending out this nasty
and untrue email is under investigation by the authorities.
We suggest if you have received a nasty email,claiming child **** on this site,
just delete it and ignore it.
thankyou

As I already said in the identical thread in the computer section, this sort of spam is extremely prevelant, and should just be binned. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
I get about 30-50 pieces of cr*p like this every day - it's the price to pay for having a fairly widespread 'net presence'.

I had a spate of spam mail a while ago, but nothing as bad as this - just subscribing me to newsgroups and stuff like that.
This is not nice. Yes, it is probably a wind-up of sorts, but what sort of sick pervert would want to see "a 4 year old get snuffed out"!?
Vile, sick, disgusting, perverts! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Oh, and it's a con anyway - I signed up on the site with my c/card details and the stuff on there's not even half as good as they claim it is.

You find this funny ???
Spam isn't new, and mails like this have been kicking around for years. Sure, if the site was serious and really contained that sort of stuff, it would be horrendous. But the fact that the disclaimer is up on the website mentioned implies that it's been around for a while.
Anyone who's on this board should be net-savvy enough to know that there are something like 5 billion junk emails sent per day, almost all of which are simply tools to try and get page impressions on ad-sponsored sites. Nothing more, nothing less. The only other reason for spam of this tasteless type would be to attempt to discredit the site it links to.
Either way, getting all worked up about it does nothing other than exacerbate the shock-value effect of the mail.
Frankly, I'm surprised that Clare didn't just bin the mail in the first place. If real paedos were dumb enough to send out mails of this sort for real, they'd have been locked up years ago. IMO, it ranks up there with the Nigerian scam in terms of likelihood of reality...
And, as the saying goes, you have to laugh, otherwise you'd spend the whole of your life depressed.

OK, looking at it now, it seems silly of me to overreact. But I have a daughter and I don't find it funny - whether it be serious or a joke!
I wouldn't want to see anyone get snuffed out, let alone a child.
I suppose we'd better calm down now.

MArk,
In all honesty, 99.9% of the time I like your humour, the wind ups and the flaming. I sit and smirk as I watch you intricately spin a web to trap people in or just plain humiliate them
The subject of child abuse/pornography and such are too sensitive a subject to make crass remarks about in mine and other people's opinion.
I saw the humour, but in all honesty it wasn't the right place to do it.
Complaints have been received about it and people are posting as such that they do not like it.
I think it best that you do edit your post.
Michelle.

Well, I'll tell you what. Since we've established that the spam is a hoax, and we've posted the info about the various agencies Clare can contact, and there's also another thread (duplicated, but where it should be) in the computer-related forum, how's about you just lock this one and we'll let it drop out of sight. If people really
a) think I've signed up to the site (for which the URL hasn't actually been posted in this thread) or
b) didn't find the comment amusing
then it won't be any great shakes.

FFS!!! Get a grip!
If you don't like this sort of thing, disconnect from the internet, unplug your computer, and hide under the bedclothes!
The real (internet) world is far too rough for sensitive types like yourselves.
You don't have to *read* and *digest* every mail you get. Everymorning, I do a multiselect of about 15 mails and plain delete it. read the subject line and if it loos like spam, it probably is.
