Hi folks ! A female colleague has been receiving obscene mails for the last few months which have become threatening of late. They are not in the general mould of spams usually directed at mail domains and as soon as she spams out one particular id, spam with the same content starts from another source. She cannot spam out all strange mail ids since she also processes business-related mails in the same account.
Since the content is uniform, she suspects the handiwork of someone she knows. Unfortunately, the person seems to be shifting his accounts from one web mail service to another. Now, the question is, can reporting the matter to Police help in some way ? We know of instances where such spammers have been caught by some co-ordinated effort between the Police, ISPs and web mail providers, but, such instances have been all based on Indian web mail servers like rediffmail, sify etc. Can such co-ordination be achieved with international web mail servers like yahoo.com, hotmail.com etc ? And, what if the person uses fraudulent identities to create such mail accounts in the first place ? Kindly advise as the matter concerns personal privacy and safety and urgent action needs to be taken.
