Folks,

When I got these messages I was pretty annoyed and so I finally
actually did something about it. First, I responded to the email. (I
know it was forged, but it helped me vent and actually got a
response.) The response told me that it was forged and one of them
asked for the complete headers which I just happen to have and the
other was from Sandi Bigham who is very nice and whom I informed of
the steps I have taken and encouraged her to do the same. The next
thing I did was call the Better Business Bureau to report offensive
advertising practices on the part of WorldTouch Network. If anyone
else wants to do the same, call (900) 225-5222. The call is from $4
to $9.50 ($3.85 for the first minute, $0.95 per minute after) but
goes to help stop these idiots. You will need either their address
or their zip code. Here they are:

   PLEASE CALL 213-980-7850 to process your order
                      WorldTouch Network Inc.
5670 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 2170 Los Angeles, CA 90036

If anyone knows someone who knows emough to track this guy down, I
have attached the full headers from all three emails below. You can
never have too many people busting spammers, after all.
