Congratulations! You have been spammed by Scumbag Sam, the infamous Atlanta
toner spammer, forger and thief. His real name is Sam Khuri and he is also
known as Sammy Curry. He has done business as Benchmark Printer Supply,
Benchmark Builders, and Vertex Technologies. Sammy has no less than six
liens filed against him in Dekalb county, Georgia.

Big Hint:

Don't send him any money!! COD only!

On his (now defunct) web page Sammy claimed that he had an accomplice who
worked for Compuserve and protected his account from being cancelled for
spamming. This seems to be true as he has been allowed to spam from
Compuserve with impunity since April of 1997. Complain often to 
abuse@compuserve.com but do not hold your breath as Compuserve's abuse
department seems to be brain-dead these days.

You might try complaining to some other of Sammy's phone numbers;

770-698-8698 (fax)
770-512-0083
770-399-4226
770-399-0953
770-399-5038

These numbers ring at Scumbag Sam's home so no out of hours calls please!

If you live in the Atlanta area do not deliver any over-ripe marsupial 
roadkill to his driveway. His Dunwoody neighbors are upset with him as it 
is.

If you cause Scumbag Sam enough trouble he will remove you from his list
but this is quite a bit of work.
