21. Abuse Of Usenet: Cyberstalked Jayne Hitchock s battle with Usenet spammer Woodside Literary Agency began in 1996, and continued into 2002 with her cyberstalkers sentenced to prison and probation on charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, perjury and making false statements to a federal officer. Hitchcock s site details the case from start to finish, and shows how it led to new laws making cyberstalking a criminal offense in New Hampshire (USA). http://www.jahitchcock.com/cyberstalked/

Abuse of Usenet: Cyberstalked How It All Began 2nd edition now out!! This will be updated as new information becomes available. It was last updated on August 4, 2006. A collection of related print articles, TV and radio shows on the web If you have been following this story, go directly to the most recent update. This story began in January of 1996 with an apparently innocuous, but inappropriate ad posted to the Usenet newsgroup misc.writing. The ad was for a literary agency (a company which would represent writers trying to find publishers). Literary representation is a legitimate business, but the ad was posted in a section of Usenet where ads are heavily frowned upon. Jayne Hitchcock, not knowing anything about this agency, telephoned Woodside and talked to "James Leonard," then sent in a book proposal. Within a week she got a response raving about her "professional" proposal and asking for a $75 reading fee. She knew this was not the norm for a literary agent. In fact, the AAR (Association of Authors' Representatives) prohibits any of its members from charging reading fees of any kind. Note: A checklist, canon of ethics and a list of member agents of AAR are available on their site.

Some examples are: sweepstakes that require you to pay an entry fee or order a product; notices of prizes that require you to call a 900 number or buy a product; mailings that look like they are from government agencies, but they are not; prize awards that ask for your credit card or bank account number. Consumers should be particularly suspicious of one of the most prevalent forms of mail fraud, notices that you have received a prize, in some cases a very expensive prize like a car or vacation. Usually, you have to purchase a product, for example, a lifetime supply of cosmetics or large amounts of vitamins, to be eligible to receive the prize. In fact, few of the prizes are awarded, and of those received, most are worthless. Contact your state or local consumer office or Better Business Bureau if you have any doubts about promotions you have received in the mail. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is.
