LOTTERY SCAMS: WHERE IS THE FTC'S HELP AND THE CNA-SPAM ACT? THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOGRAMITHMIC GROWTH OF THESE SPAMS. YET THE GOVERNMENT IGNORES ALL THE SPAM LIKE THIS THAT IS FORWARDED TO THEM.

AND ALL THE HELPLESS ISP'S WHO DO NOTHING TO STOP IT TOO. ESPECIALLY COMCAST WITH THEIR PORT 25 PROBLEMS. OR THE COMCAST SPAM TURNING IT USERS' COMPUTERS INTO ZOMBIE MACHINES.

THE SPAMMERS FOUND A LOOP HOLE THAT NEITHER THE GOVERNMENT NOR COMCAST WANTS TO CLOSE.
