Below is an unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE/SPAM) I received.
It originated from your site, or in some way involved you:

Information Gateway Services: This piece of junk came from one
    of your lusers. Please find and fry!

Hotmail.com: Probably the address is just a faked bogus, but
    you might check it out...

As you surely know, SPAM/UCE is becoming an increasingly
prevalent problem on the Internet, and your cooperation in this
matter would be greatly appreciated. Most sites discourage this
behaviour with the implementation of acceptable usage policies,
to which their users (customers) must adhere.

It is only through the concerted effort of the Internet
community as a whole that we will be able to eradicate this
annoyance.

Thank-you for your time and attention to this problem.

N.B.: This message has been bcc'ed to on-line resources
    (E-mail & USENET) dedicated to anti-SPAM activities.


Virtually yours

You'll never forget again!!

Do you Forget!?
- Friends' Birthdays?
- Anniversaries?
- Special Occasions?
- Any important dates that you want to be reminded of?
- Or even reminders to do things like call your friend
in Alaska once a year?

If so we have a solution for you!!!

For the rest of your life we will remind YOU!!

We'll send you a postcard one week
prior to every date you want to be
reminded of for the rest of your life!

You will receive unlimited reminders that you can
update at any time for the rest of your life.

Think about it...you will never miss your relatives
birthdays, your anniversary, special dates for
business contacts, and the list never stops.
You will never forget again.

We can even send Gift Paks automatically to
anyone you want.  Your friends will be amazed that
you actually remembered their birthday.

You can receive this entire package for 
only $39.00 canadian funds ($30.00 U.S. funds)
But Wait...if your order is received in the next 
ten days you can receive an additional package
to give to a friend, relative, or business contact
for only $15.00 canadian funds ($10.00 U.S. funds)
more.

Don't delay!! In order for us to receive your order in 
the next ten days you must send your order today.  

Your relatives, friends, business contacts 
will all thank you for it in the future.

This is also a great gift idea
