Once again, Thank you for the note Steve.

As I have stated before and I will state again, SPAM is unacceptable on
Museum-L. For every ad that manages to slip through the SPAM filter that
is a part of LISTSERV software, another 50 are rejected and sent to me.

Yesterday I called the number that was part of the ad, and indeed, the
SPAM was promoting one more scam. Unfortunately, as long as people can
make a profit on little or no investment, then SPAMs will continue. When
I placed the call I got a fake sob story followed by a high pressure
pitch to give more information about myself.

My suggestion, as always, is to complain directly to the Internet Service
Provider. Make them take the heat for the actions of their users. Please,
do not respond to the list with remove requests.
