[epub] Re: Spammers Subbing

["Jill E. Vaile" <vailerosenberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While this is not  a prevention tactic, I have heard that:
 If you respond in any way, it verifies beyond their previous doubts 
that the address is in fact real. It is not a fact that all of these 
addresses are "sold". It is more that these people use spiders who crawl 
around and gather addresses, then compile lists that solicitors use 
based on real addresses and "nearby" ones that should be (based on 
whatever statistical things they go by). Until someone complains, they 
don't really know and (again supposedly) after several tries they dump 
them. I couldn't say how many of these things are continuously searching 
for new "marks" but it does make some sort of sense.....
