[Since it's early in the ayem on the Fourth of July, I suspect we won't get a verification from the Commerce Department today. But this has at least the ring of authenticity. For instance, there is in fact an Amy Magat who works for the DOC in Los Angeles (http://www.usatrade.gov/website/website.nsf/WebBySubj/Main_PressRelease080101a). The number given below for Tony Reyes identifies as such in voicemail. And the person forwarding it to spam-l is a frequent spam-reporter. But why would the DOC spam? Did they contract this out to a clueless bulkmailer? Is it an accident? Seems strange. --Declan] --- Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2002 13:15:42 +0800 From: Suresh Ramasubramanian <malletat_private> To: declanat_private This turned up on the spam-l mailing list (spam-lat_private) - requires you to subscribe to view the archives. The Dept of Commerce, Los Angeles, is spamming to a list of supposed exporters (such as this gent below, who is not an exporter at all...).
