After reading this part of the message I had to go do a Google search for giggles. First page, about the 5th return. The web spiders are working.

Fugate Firearms:

They'll never change. Once the heat's off, they'll try to crawl back under another User Name/ E-mail.

Permanently ban 'em and continue to fight them every time they try to come back. (IMHO)

Not necessarily Joe. That is how my email address has been set up from the get go but they still managed to mine my contact info.


They would still have to make a manual change. This could be done by listing the email addresses one per line and the ones like ours will stand out.

Yours is kinda easy. Just replace " AT " with "@". That is why I also put the extra instructions in the email address.

Another thing I do some times is put a "," in place of the".". That causes an automated email program to treat it as two addresses.

I wonder how they are still sending email. I would have thought their ISP would have killed their account.

I think we need to make sure their ISP got the point. If you have not complained yet, please do. If you have, why not send a follow up demanding action and accountability from the ISP?

I should complain as one of the few who didn't get spammed. I feel like the red-headed step child...

I have a lot of pictures of my guns posted on Flickr and just got an email from some guy named Brian Powers asking if I would like to sell some of them. Same guy maybe ?

Fugate is still plenty busy buying up guns on GB and other internet sites. He cannot be trusted and everyone needs to be on the lookout for the dirt he does.
