1. Report the incidence to the police (make sure that you have all the details including the email headers and an explanation of how the spammer has broken the law and be ready to make a clear statement). Keep in mind that the police officer that will take your statement will most probably have little idea of these laws and what spam is (do not be put off by this).

2. Follow up and ensure that you obtain a case reference number (make sure that you get a contact number when you report the spammer) and a contact number for the detective assigned to the case.

3. Contact the detective and ensure that the commercial branch and Cyber crime specilists are involved

4. Continue communicating with the detectives to ensure the proscecution is completed

MTN, QVC, Experian and TransUnionITC would all be in jail by now …

Any ideas how to activate the ECT act?
