If I had not personally seen people fall for this in the last 6 months I
would not have posted the warning.

My only concern is the number of victims of the cons who are giving up their
account information to spammers; so the spammers are able to use the ISP
mail servers to send their spam out. This is the way to bypass the port 25
embargo many ISPs have placed against their users.

Why is that? Nothing on my computer is real, fake names, fake
birthdated, fake addresses. Let them email away.

I don't care what is on your computer. When you send email to the putative
sender of spam, you are very likely pestering some poor guy (or gal) whose
email address was forged in the spam you got. If you send email to *my*
email address, telling me to "kiss your ass" for the spam you got, which I
did not send, I will file an abuse complaint with your ISP.

information. If you are on the other end of the spam email, then kiss my
ass.

The kinds of spam that I get:
"Pump 'n' Dump": Spammer includes a 1-800 number to call and order some
penny stock.
"Nigerian 4-1-9 scam": Spammer includes an email address for contact to ge
my cut of the million odd U.S. dollars he wants to move out of country.
"Account Phishing scam": Spammer includes a URL to a website where I am
expected to supply him with my account information.
If you send email to the putative sender email address in the latter spam,
and I receive it, you'll need to kiss your ISP's ass if you wish not to lose
your account.
I report such "blowback" to the owner of the source IP address in the email.
If you send me your "blowback", it will be your Comcast IP address that I
see in your email.
