Happy to post warnings about spam scams

Sometimes a comment comes in that makes you feel good.

I’ve been asked by friends, “why do you keep blogging about spam?” Occasionally I wonder about that myself. After all, it’s not always very interesting (although it is often very funny).

Stephen from Maui posted a comment on my post “Domain scammers keep on scamming” that makes it all worthwhile:

Aloha Alan:

I received this e-mail today. Instead of responding I “Googled” it and saw your posting. As suggested I just trashed the e-mail. I never trust an e-mail that starts with the “Nigerian scam international greeting” of Dear Sir/Madam but since I have protected my domain name for many years I thought I would check.

Your posting validated my skepticism. There are good things happening on the internet!

Mahalo (thank you) for your vigilance & sense of community service.

Mahalo nui loa, Stephen.
