Should I send CAUCE copies of the spam I recieve?
Please do not send us any copies or samples of the spam you receive. As a group we received thousands of spam messages every day, as individuals we receive hundreds to our personal accounts.
We are an advocacy group not a spam reporting service or the internet police. For help reporting please talk to your internet service provider or use the current tools provided to you by your web mail providers (i.e. Junk button in Hotmail, or the "Report spam" button in Gmail).

Thanks for the comment, Diane.

The FTC stated on their website that spam e-mails can be forwarded to spam@uce.gov
While the FTC does not resolve individual consumer problems, your complaint helps us investigate fraud, and can lead to law enforcement action. The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel®, a secure, online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies worldwide.

The FTC has told us that they use those spam reports as evidence when engaging in legal action against spammers. These actions often take two years or more.
We'd urge you to also report the spam to your Internet service provider (whoever supplies your email address), so that they can quickly update their spam filters and prevent those messages from getting to you.
