Default Abundance of spammers

What's up with this lately? It seems like there are about 3 or 4 new ones a day in certain forums.

The watch spammer is annoying. What is done about these guys? Nothing?

A quick whois lookup shows they're hosted by a new york company. A few emails to their support mentioning the spam and the Rolex trademark violation should put him out of business for a bit.

Sample send:

Subject: Spam and Trademark Violation

Dear Sir/Madam,

One of the sites you host, deleted , is regularly spamming internet forums and selling trademarked fake Rolex watches in violation of US law. I trust you don't condone the hosting of illegal content once it has been brought to your attention.

Thank you for your time

you guys realize that by posting links to spam you are also spamming?

Just notify the mods in the forum and they'll get to it

this guy does a happy meal on the forums every day. It's easy to get his site taken down since he's hosted in the states and it's going to do 100x more than the notify moderator button who just delete the spam and bend over for more the next day.

Also, lol @ spamming ATF.
