I changed over from Spam Arrest, which I wasn't completely happy with to SpamCop. I set it up and it seemed to be working. Then I went to bed and woke up to find I had no emails. Strange. I get many. I got a Skype message from an associate that my emails had been bouncing back to him. I heard from others who told me the same thing. So I went back to Spam Arrest and emailed SpamCop with my issue. No reply. I emailed them 3 times. Still no reply. Now it's a week later. I have twice emailed asking for a refund and still no reply. This service sucks!
All my emails I send are blocked by spamcop, I'm on the Online.net network, i have my own website and they block all email sent on the STMP service of Online.net but my website is not a spammer. That is bull$#*!.
I am desperately trying to find an ISP that does NOT use Spam Cop or a similar service. This company has caused me to lose business contracts by intercepting vital, legitimate emails, and they don't even have the balls to put an email address or phone number on line to make themselves accountable to me. I have NEVER authorized Spam Cop to filter my emails. I have emphatically told my ISP several times that I do not want them doing it. They tell me they've turned Spam Cop off, and then next thing I know, somebody else forwards me a returned message saying Spam Cop intercepted their email. I have now fired three ISPs because of their use of Spam Cop. If anybody knows a company that offers domain hosting that does NOT use Spam Cop or a similar service. Please post it hear. I'm begging you. I'm desperate.
Blocking legit emails and getting the email back is pain... waste of time.
I dont know where or how i got the spam emails, but i was getting them from everywhere, Primark, bit coin, funeral services, and dozens of other places. I have obviously clicked a link to accept cookies somewhere! I was getting about 50 junk emails a day! At first i reported them in gmail to junk but i didnt want them at all! I was very fortunate to come across this when i googled how to stop spam emails. So i tried it and sent all the junk email address's into this program but still they spam emails kept coming. I thought the program just was not going to work, but after about a week maybe less YIPEE! Woke up on a morning checked my emails and NONE in my spam inbox! It worked im very impressed and utterly thankful for the program. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is unfortunate to get horrible spam!
I hate spam like many people do. All you do is right click on the spam email, hit view message source, copy, then paste it onto the Spamcop site and it tells you what ISP it came from and sends an abuse report for you. It'll also tell you who hosts and offending links in the spam. It's a free site, but they'll bug you for donations.
I have used the paid version of Spamcop for many years and am extremely happy with it. At least 80% of the spam I receive is blocked, which is extremely helpful since my e-mail address is public knowledge. You do have to tweek the filter, selecting various parameters and which blacklists you want consulted. In this way the sensitivity can be increased or decreased. This might be difficult for people who are not computer literate, but the improvement in service is well worth the effort.
I have used spamcop's free reporting for years but never knew if it was really helping until I tested it for myself. Who hasn't received an email from a scammer calling themselves Farida Waziri, a real person who is the Executive Chairperson of the Nigerian EFCC? I certainly have, dozens of them. Spamcop will probably not appreciate me doing this but one time I decided to string one of these scammers along while also reporting them. I would make up tale after tale as to why I had not yet been able to send them their "fee" to release my millions of dollars. Sometimes it was several days before they replied. They said they kept having problems with their email account and had to reregister (thanks to spamcop's reporting, no doubt). By the time I finally tired of toying with them and told them I had only been doing so to waste their time, their return email address was Farrrrida Waziiiiri. So yes, reporting to spamcop does get results but can't really stop these devils, nothing can. They just reregister using a different name or, as in this case, just add a few more letters to the name they're using. Still, it wasted some of their time, time that might have been used emailing someone else who was more gullible than me who could have fallen into their trap.
Answer: Because spamcop only wants your $15. They do not actually do anything with your complaint.
