There is a new spam scam targeted at ISPs going around.   Someone uses 
the TTY system for hearing impaired people (or a forgery of it) to order 
up a dialup account and several email addresses.    Then the account is 
paid for with a credit card.    Within a couple of hours, spam starts 
flowing from the email addresses.   We tracked this down when one of the 
people with the stolen credit cards called us to find out why we were 
charging them, and it was readily apparent that this was not a 
legitimate account.

Heads up.    Now we get to go through the stupid fight to get ourselves 
removed from the yahoo and aol blacklists.   Dammit!
