Alan Ralsky

Alan Ralsky is a spammer, who promotes himself as "The King Of Spam".

Alan Ralsky, according to experts in the field, has long been one of the most prolific senders of junk e-mail messages in the world.

He did an interview with The Detroit News that provoked an outcry among users of the internet. One attack that has been common is for anonymous people to sign Ralsky up for unsolicited post advertisements.

In December 2002 this article was posted on Slashdot and some slashdotters hatched a plan to give him a taste of his own medicine. A user obtained the address to his new home and posted it there. Hundreds of Slashdotters then searched the Internet for advertising mailing lists or free catalogs and signed up with his address. As a result he was inundated with tons of junk mail a day, he is quoted as saying "They've signed me up for every advertising campaign and mailing list there is ... These people are out of their minds. They're harassing me".
