Re: Domain HiJacking by SPAMMERS

["Jude Naidoo" <jude007 () jnaidoo fsnet co uk>]

The only thing you can do is , as Bryan mentioned, find out via whois what
the originating IP is and contact their ISP. Then stay on the ISP's case
until you get some sort of details on the user, if they will let you have
it. If you do get an email address for the spammer, send them some hate-mail
threatening legal action.

It's also good to find out exactly which country the ISP is in and find out
what the local law is concerning this kind of problem.
