If you are reading this, it's probably because you received a spam message, purportedly from Eduardo mercovich.
Here you'll find all the information regarding this issue.
A difamation campaign against our coordinator, Eduardo Mercovich, was started by a spammer annoyed by the activities of iCAUCE.Ar. On the May 22th 2004, early morning, this person started sending spam appearing to be issued by Eduardo Mercovich, supposedly promoting financial information services.
Neither iCAUCE.Ar, nor Eduardo Mercovich are at all related with such activity.
Here's a copy of the message (note there are errors in the addresses included at the and, as well as the spelling of Mercovich's last name):

Visitenos en: www.cauce.org.arThis kind of actions is not new and is known in jargon as a joe job named after an incident decribed in http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=Joe%20Job.
This action does but remark the ethics of those that base their business on spam at the cost of all of us (including you) and the perils we face if this kind of activity isn't stopped.
Both IcauceAr and EduardoMercovich work to diminish the Problem of Spam (ProblemaDelSpam, in Spanish).
