Q. Why should I join this service?
A. Any person who is receiving spam should join. It is clear that whatever program you presently use is not providing acceptable results, and if you want junk mail to not appear in your email boxes, and if you want to do something about it that is effective, inexpensive, uncomplicated, and hassle-free, you should join.
Secondly, do you believe it is a good idea to protect your personal information, including your email address, from intruders? Do you believe it is also a good idea to attempt to avoid messages infected with destructive viruses or worms which could cripple your computer and perhaps force you to replace it? If you agree that it is a good idea, joining Remove Me Now can help. Our service will help you protect your email address from junk emailers, and prevent them from making money at your expense by blocking their messages from arriving in your email program altogether. Many email users do not realize that if spam appears in any of their mailboxes, the sender will get paid for the delivery, regardless of whether or not the recipient opens it or deletes it unread! Spammers profit from any system that allows these messages to terminate in any user's email mailbox, and sadly, it merely provides them with more funds available to defeat those systems' filtering devices.
We do not rely on those technologies, which are often called "white-listing", or "challenge-response". Our service is simple, effective, easy to use, and it liberates you from ever having to deal with "possible spam" to ferret out mail from those you wish to receive it from. Just begin using our service and continue sending and receiving email normally, free of spam. No additional action is required by you to get rid of spam. Also, there is usually no need to change ISPs. By using a Remove Me Now email address, your email will first be routed to us for processing, then quickly and seamlessly forwarded to your email program thereafter, spam-free.
Joining our service protects you from any spam arriving in any of your mailboxes, and not allowing it to terminate in an email mailbox reduces the spammer's income from sending junk messages. For those who want to stop spammers from sending spam, using our service will help achieve that goal, and that is the best way to stop spammers from sending spam--make it unprofitable. Our better way to defeat spammers is much more effective at stopping spam than relying on leaky, ineffective fliters, or hoping that law enforcement to bring them all to justice. Those are the reasons why you should join our inexpensive, effective service.
Q. Will Remove Me Now.com itself send me marketing solicitations?
A. No. We fight spam, and never send it. We only market through internet search engines and through the referrals of satisfied customers. Should you receive any type of promotion or abusive email that refers to us in any manner do not believe it. It is doubtless from some spammer who has inserted a phony link or other reference to our website into their spam. The spammer wants you to believe that we are promoting our anti-spam service by sending spam, a patently outrageous act. To get a lead on who actually sent the spam, merely contact your ISP for assistance in analyzing and tracing the full headers, which contain the message's routing information. It may or may not lead you directly to the spammer, but filing a complaint with the ISP indicated may motivate that ISP to sanction or even terminate the user, if they can confirm their user was the actual sender.
Since inception, Remove Me Now has had no affiliates, has never sent spam, and has never participated in any email marketing promotions. We continue to follow that policy.
News and announcements will be available for members to read, at their discretion, in the protected members area of the site.
Q. What happens if a member is not pleased with their results from Remove Me Now.com's spam reduction program?
A. Memberships can be unconditionally canceled at any time by clicking the "Cancel" link on our homepage, or by contacting us with a request to cancel.
Q. Why should I join this service when I can purchase an "anti-spam" program for about $40.00-$80.00?
A. It is a question of how you want to spend your time. Most of these programs require a commitment of considerable time and effort on your part to get whatever results you achieve. Our system does not. Also, no special technical knowledge is necessary to achieve success with Remove Me Now.com. Just join, follow our brief, easy instructions we will send you after joining, and watch our system work to get rid of your spam. Its that simple. Moreover, most "anti-spam" programs require a moderate level of technical skill to set up and operate, and you must also tell the program in detail the email you don't want to receive. That still will not protect your email inbox from clever tactics that spammers use to overcome your efforts to keep them out, in their ongoing attempts to solicit you. The reality is that "email filters" have been in use for some time, but spammers continually find ways to get around them. That's why you still get junk mail.
Q. Is it necessary for me to submit spammers' email addresses in order for this service to work?
A. No. Our system does not require this to stop your spam. Our members merely send and receive email normally, and nothing more is required of them. If a spammer locates and begins spamming one of our members, however, we can quickly make adjustments to place the spammer back out in the cold.
Q. I was sent to this site after receiving a spam mail and clicking the "removal link", but there is no method to get removed from the spam. What is the problem here?
A. The so called "removal link" in the spam you received is a fraud, forged by the spammer as a dirty trick on you. The practice is known as a "joe job", or "spoofing" and can be read in further detail at the Federal Trade Commission's ("FTC") website in the section on spam.
Inasmuch as our website has been frequently spoofed in this manner by spammers, we were pleased to learn of the FTC's latest efforts to bring some of these people to justice. We applaud the FTC's work, and look forward to more prosecutions. At this juncture, however, law enforcement alone will not stop spam, or put enough spammers out of business to discourage it. Our members' results indicate that we have developed an ideal way to get rid of it. Since our service prevents junk mail from reaching our members, and stops spammers from making money at our members' expense, spammers are intent on using these deceptive tactics to discourage prospective members from joining the service.
First and foremost, we strongly discourage clicking on any links in spam mail that offer to "remove" the recipient. Even though the law may require that the spam contain a legitimate link for removal, most spammers would never use a valid link that might in any manner lead back to themselves. They therefore spoof someone else's email address or website to redirect the angry recipient.
The internet's "open architecture", which makes it so user friendly, also makes it possible to create a "link" to any internet website or to any email address, whether the link is valid, or in this instance, fraudulent. Recipients can confirm who did not send the spam by contacting their own ISP and obtaining assistance to analyze the message's full headers, which contain its routing information. Such a trace followed by a complaint, will place the implicated computer's ISP on notice that someone on their network may be sending spam, so that appropriate measures can be taken. Typically, anyone not involved with sending spam will not be sanctioned, and should be eliminated as a suspect, regardless of any spammer links or email addresses forged into the spam to mislead.
Remove Me Now has never sent spam, will never send spam, and is not involved in any manner with any email marketer who does. We have reported many thousands of instances of this fraud and identity theft to Federal, State, and Local Departments of Justice, and we must allow the wheels of justice to turn at their own pace and eventually bring to justice those who abuse and/or misuse this service, as well as your inboxes. We first filed a complaint on this fraud with the FTC in 2002. The FTC has advised us to request that recipients of this spam mail capture the spam's full headers, and forward the entire spam mail to the FTC at UCE@FTC.GOV. Also, we encourage you to visit their website at http://www.ftc.gov, for additional information on spam. When the authorities identify the spammers and bring them to justice, we will seek damages to the full extent of the law through our own legal action.
Recipients of the spam are also encouraged to seek assistance and advice from their respective state and local Departments of Justice, and from their respective legal counsel.
If you have been victimized in this manner by spammers, and fraudulently sent to this site to be "removed" from their spam, you should disregard any and all of the spammer's alleged "links" and claims, because they are not true. Instead, fight back--capture the spam mail's full headers, trace the spam to the sending ISP, and forward your complaints to that ISP for confirmation and action, and to the authorities we mentioned, for redress. Once you have confirmed that someone other than our service was the actual sender, then we invite you to defy the spammer, do what they have attempted to discourage you from doing, and join our service to put a stop to their abuse.
It is important for spam recipients to understand
that websites do not send email. Email is sent exclusively
through ISPs and the ISP(s) used by the sender to spam you can only
be located by analyzing the full headers of the spam mail. Once contacted
with a complaint, the sending ISP must then painstakingly figure out the
spammer's true identity and take remedial action against them. Responding
to the "return path" email address in the spam, or any "removal
links" in the spam is almost always a futile effort, because they
can be, and almost always are, easily forged by the spammer. It
only takes a few seconds to create a "link" to any website on the
internet in an email message, and even though it may not be authorized by the
website, the link will take you to that website nonetheless, so email users beware of trusting links
found in junk mail!
It's your inbox. Don't let spammers invade it and manipulate you into contacting innocent third-parties in futile attempts to get removed from the spammers' list with their forged "removal links" without fighting back. Utilizing and tracing the routing information in the spam mail's full headers will allow you to take positive action against the spammer, but these complaints usually do not stop the spam. If the ISP confirms that they have a spammer on their network and cancels their service, typically the spammer merely goes to another ISP and continues their operations. Stopping spam is what Remove Me Now does, and it is why those sending spam with fraudulent links to our website to be "removed" wish to influence email users to not use our service and stop their spam for good. It is a good tactic only if the recipient allows themselves to trust the contents of junk mail, and the trustworthiness of those who send it.
Remove Me Now will not respond to any messages sent to it in this manner for alleged "removal", (please see the SPAM FRAUD Notice near the bottom of our homepage). Our mission is to fight spam for our members, and that effort will occupy the majority of our time.
