I got spam in my suspect e-mail folder (web-based e-mail). It’s a link to a geocities child pornography site. :mad: How do I go about reporting this sick fuck to the authorities? I mean, I want the FBI on them! :mad: :mad: I do **not** want to allow this e-mail to download into my inbox, but I can forward it to the authorites from the webmail if I close my e-mail browser and move it into the webmail inbox. ---

[http://www.asacp.org/report.php](http://www.asacp.org/report.php) As an (adult) adult site owner… I can tell you this is where most of the legitimate site owners go when we run across it. p.s. [oops](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=6021359#post6021359) ---

Actually, given the specific nature of your OP, I think [this](http://www.asacp.org/emailinstructions.html) may be what you are looking for. ---

You can also report 'em to geocities who’ll yank the site immediately and turn him over to the various federal authorities. ---

Thanks, **Eleusis**. I’ve gone to your link, and it’s asking for ‘suspect or webhost country’. The website is geocities (which is, I presume, US), but the e-mail address (which may or may not be spoofed) is a dot-mk domain. Which country should I use? Mwhich country is .mk? ---

Okay, I’ve reported it to ASACP. I’ve also reported it to geocities. Can I delete the e-mail from my suspect e-mail folder? (Please?) ---

I got on Live Chat with my ISP. Following Harry R.'s instructions, I have forwarded the offending e-mail to abuse at earthlink dot net, and have deleted the e-mail. I feel better now. ---

Yahoo!/Geocities has taken the site down. 🙂🙂🙂 Probably nothing anyone can do about prosecuting the Macedonian guy, but at least the site is gone.
