It's ok, I know a company here in LA that does that.. They have anti-SPAM software for you.. Well, they don't do the SPAM, they have "affiliates" that do it.. :)

The guy did a hard-sell on me, and I told him I have a simple script that does the same thing. :)

You should reply with:

I am already using this software, and I'm still getting SPAM, as evidenced by the fact that I received your mailing. Please send a rebate check as soon as possible. :-)

I got that one last night!

Stopcalls.org, right? "Never receive a telemarket phone call again! Your privacy is valued, click here to find out what to do to stop it." or some such nonsense.
