I strongly urge all members to call Ernest today, to put a stop to this stalker. I also posted this on another thread. Lets collectively put a stop to this today.
3. What can I do if I am being harassed or stalked on the Net?
You should report the incident to the system administrator (aka "sysadmin") of both your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the ISP of the stalker or harasser. Be aware that sometimes stalkers/harassers try to conceal their tracks by forging (aka "spoofing") their e-mail headers. If you receive abusive e-mail, you might want to visit SpamCop. This free (with voluntary subscription) service will analyze your unwanted e-mail to determine its point of origin, and can generate a report that will be e-mailed to the appropriate sysadmin. You can also visit CyberSnitch to report Internet abuse and have a report sent to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
Check with your own ISP to learn about their abuse policy; this is usually outlined in the customer service agreement. Generally complaints of abuse are sent to the postmaster or the abuse department, and the addresses will be something like "postmaster@yourisp.com" or "abuse@yourisp.com." Many ISPs use both addresses. Go to your ISP's web site for more detailed, official information. Be sure to forward a complete copy of the mail, including the headers, to the sysadmin. Most sysadmins will not hesitate to cancel the account of anyone using their ISP to send abusive mail, and will cooperate with other sysadmins to prevent future occurences. If your sysadmin does not take your complaint seriously, that may be a good reason to change ISPs.
For legal questions about cyberstalking, visit http://cyber.findlaw.com/criminal/cyberstalk.html, a collection of articles on the subject. U.S. laws on cyberstalking vary from state to state, but if you have been threatened in e-mail, you may wish to ask an attorney about the Federal statute 18 U.S.C. 875(c). Under that statute, "transmission in interstate or foreign commerce of a communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another," is a federal felony, carrying a maximum sentence of 5 years in prison and a fine of 0,000.
