Did you miss the part where they say that they send a warning first? If you've been framed by the spammer, you'll have a chance to let them know that it was a forgery. This should hopefully forestall the attack.

TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Yes, it will stop the whole one-for-one complaint process. They look for any possible reason to _not_ start the robots going, not the other way around. You can come back to them with complete denial (and start them investigating further) or you can go back and tell them you want to clean up your list, or whatever. PAT]
