I have ended up on a German spam cannon that always sends four or more emails with the exact same content from a domain, each email local part varying slightly so the simple account blocking on the phone doesn’t work – and since the next mail is sent from a different domain, blocking domains via email admin website is inefficient, too. I don’t know why this makes me more angry than the usual spam. Is it because they’re Germans? Is it the boring ball pens, office chairs or table football they are trying to sell, or the fact that I always get for of them? Or the fact that they send it to a fedi email adress that is visible somewhere on the web frontend? So how to channel this Sith energy of mine? Right now I take the email domain, ask whois for info and send a two line email to the abuse address. I guess what I really want to do, however, is send them Abmahnungsschreiben. This is an evil German strategy whereby people send cease and desist letters including the bill for the lawyer who wrote the letter.

Is there Abmahnung as a service where I can forward emails to a German lawyer who immediately does the thing? Wouldn’t that be a great business idea?

Please provide as much information as possible when submitting an abuse report, including:

1. The nature of the alleged abuse or illegal activity.
2. The relevant law or regulation allegedly violated and the applicable jurisdiction where such law or regulation is in effect.
3. If the abuse report requests a party’s compliance with a particular law or regulation, it should set forth the basis for believing that party is subject to that law or regulation.
4. If a website is alleged to be the source of the abuse or illegal activity, the specific url(s) should be identified.
5. If a court, regulatory authority, or law enforcement agency has made a formal determination that abuse or illegal activity is taking place, that formal determination should be submitted if available.

Ugh.
