I got 5 copies of the attached spam. THis is the first UCE I've seen with
an Australian 1800 number attached. I just called the number and spoke to
a guy who refused to give me his name. He said they had purchased a list
of email addresses from a company, but wouldn't tell me which company. I
said that UCE was net-abuse and unwelcome. He adopted a holier than thou
attitude saying that "times are achanging" and to expect advertising email
to grow. Despite a promise to remove me from the mailing list I said that
I wouldn't let the matter rest. His overall apathetic attitude on the
whole business of UCE annoyed me so the matter has been raised with their
upstream provider. At one stage he said I was taking up too much time on
their 1800 number which they pay for. When I pointed out that the
recipient pays for email delivery, he made an implied threat of a
mailbombing for using up too much phone time. 

connect.com.au is the upstream provider of both sites so complaints were
sent to:
    winnet@mail.interconnect.com.au, info@dataline.net.au,
    postmaster@interconnect.com.au, postmaster@dataline.net.au,
    postmaster@connect.com.au, feedback@connect.com.au

I encourage any Australians who don't like spam to call 1800 357 799 and
tell them the facts about junk email.

Cheers
David
