Anti-spam precautions
Due to the increasing amount of spam that people are receiving, probably due to web-spiders trawling our site for overt e-mail addresses it has been necessary to introduce these precautions, irritating as they may be.
Whenever you click on an e-mail link on the web-site and your e-mail application opens, you must change NOSPAM to an @ symbol in the address before you send the message or it will not send.
In the event you are still troubled by unwanted e-mails you can invoke SpamCop. Go to their web-site at http://www.spamcop.com/ , download the simple instructions and keep them handy for reference. The procedure is fiddly at first but you will soon get the hang of it. SpamCop will root out and deal with these people for you.
The UK government watchdogs are typical Quangos and I have found them most ineffective. If you want to forward your spam e-mails to them also these are the addresses. The Information Office is mail@gsi.gov.uk and The Compliance Office is compliance@ico.gsi.gov.uk . They are supposed to regulate unsolicited advertising and e-selling but they say they are limited to UK spammers. Their opinion of people asking for your bank details so they can donate great riches is that they are asking for help, not trying to con you. They also want you to fill in a form for every mail submitted. I suggest you politely tell them what to do with their forms.
