International Conference on Materials Science and Manufacturing: Spamming scientists to please join them

I don’t know why today is a special day for Chinese scientific spam. But it seems to be. See previous post. The domains are registered to the same entities. The address source is, as before, “anything in PubMed goes”.  I don’t know whether I should just take their advice and unsubscirble.

(I’m really impressed that the copy-paste from Emacs, which looks all blank on my screen, actually includes the Chinese content. Now there’s probably a way to identify the spamtrap from there…)

SportElite Marketing Oy / Aim Higher: Spamming to solicit sponsorship from businesses for sportspeople

SportElite Marketing Oy, under the unregistered d/b/a Aim Higher (www, biz reg) is spamming to solicit sponsorship for sportspeople. Their spam service provider is the Fonecta/Ixonos collaboration, which currently means they’re experiencing serious delivery problems. Which is only appropriate given the unusually poor quality of Fonecta’s lists (even with respect to the other crap everybody else is peddling that has its origins in the Finnish Business Information System) and their utter failure to understand the problem that is spam.

MailerLite.fi: A Finnish branch office of a Lithuanian(?) ESP that doesn’t even observe its own AUP

Somewhat unfortunately, my traps are in receipt of spam that was sent by Webcore, aka MailerLite.fi, to a purchased list, one that contains addresses of natural persons, and outdated and erroneous personal data. So their own AUP doesn’t appear to apply to themselves, and hence is worth exactly the loo roll it was printed on.

An anonymous party appearing as b2b-mails.org is spamming on behalf of Vistaprint. Given the .pro registration, it looks like this is a Romanian party. It may be something closer to home, too.
