[Harp-L] List member BostonMoeJo: endless spam emails recieved from him - Anyone else?

[BluzeHarp@xxxxxxx]

No harmonica content but seems appropriate for the list as this is  where 
it came from.  Wondering if others are experiencing the same sort of  issues 
from this list member.  Please reply off list.
 
I've been receiving spam/scam emails from list member BostonMoeJo for maybe 
 2 years now, I of course never open the links.  I've written  him several 
times, politely, and asked what was going on.  He  didn't respond.  Even 
though I mark them as spam they still show up  in my inbox, it's really 
annoying.  
 
I just got another and decided to hit the 'reply all' button,  once again 
sending a reasonable plea for it to cease.  I also  sent him a separate, 
firm, reasonable, and more detailed request for him to  explain.  I stated I'd 
send my concerns to the list if it didn't  cease.  So you know, I've 
acknowledged all along that his  email account might have been hijacked, I just 
wanted a  reply/explanation.  Below, unedited, is the inappropriately profane  
response this guy offered, my reply follows: 
 
Reply all, huh?  Isn't that SPAM? Of course it is.

Apparently  my AOL account has been compromised. I have changed my 
password a number of  times, run virus software but it hasn't seemed to 
help. AOL is aware of the  problem. My apologies.

After this note just please delete any mail you  might receive from me, 
you entitled, arrogant fuck.
 
My unedited reply...  No real need to read it, but wanted  to offer it to 
those who may also be receiving abusive email  from this list member:
 

I merely wanted some feedback, and you had ignored my previous  inquiry's.  
It was a reasonable next step.
 
It isn't me who has been spamming/scamming people for around  2(?) years 
now.  I've asked you politely, several times, for it  to stop and never 
received a reply.  I mark the messages as spam  but they still somehow manage to 
show up in my in box, it's non-stop &  has become very annoying.  Interesting 
you feel that me  wanting it to cease makes me an "entitled, arrogant fuck" 
... somehow I  don't see it.  
 
Considering your profane and obnoxious response I'm  now inclined to think 
you may well be the responsible party.  Even if  indeed you are also a 
victim, you had no good reason to  send the offensive reply, all I did was point  
out the frequent spam/scam attempts coming from YOUR email  address.  
 
Having your inappropriate reply as my only measure, it  seems possible that 
you pissed someone off for no good reason & now  they are messing with you 
online.  Bummer indeed... but the fruits of your  childish behavior 
shouldn't become a problem for others.  Or, and this  seems more likely, you were 
foolish enough to click a link in a similar  email that you received long ago, 
thus setting off this chain of events.   Either way, it is in part on you.
 
This has gone on for far too long, so even if you are  innocent as claimed 
it seems you need to find a way out, cursing at people  who object won't 
move you toward that goal, and in fact will only compound  your problems.  So 
if it truly is as you claim, and you've been  trying for a long time to fix 
it and nothing seems to work, then maybe you  should try a different 
approach. (like, duh)  It's as easy as creating a  new screen name/email address... 
just add a "1" to the end (or something  similar), make your legit contacts 
aware... and be done with  it.
