Tempstar Nordic Oy, a vendor of heating and cooling products, is having a hard time acknowledging that no means no. The ESP is Digitoimisto Digitaali Oy, who took less than an hour, outside business hours, to make toast of the sender and to inform the complainant of the fact. That deserves a big Thank You.
Regus Group want to advertise business premises in Helsinki to “customer service” at a domain that does not have any customers (being a private vanity domain) and hence no customer service, either.
It was only yesterday that I mentioned Vistaprint here in passing. And it is only today that they prove it once again that they do not respect opt out and neither does their ESP.
Symantec, provider of security software for personal computers, is desperate to reach their old contacts at Savon Voima despite the domain having changed owners and opt-outs having been sent. The ESP is Responsys.
The Brazilian division of U.S. and global retailer WalMart is sending bulk email to an array of personal email addresses and spamtraps via a number of ESPs. The ESP that sent the attached sample was MGS Comunicação Multimídia, but I have seen spams advertising Walmart Brazil from a number of Brazilian ESPs.
Kuopion Liikekirjapaino, a business printing house in eastern Finland, is spamming addresses they just might know to have been dead for two plus years and are not taking “no” for an answer. Innoctus, an ESP in Finland, are not processing bounces nor taking precautions to clean their customers’ lists of known dead addresses even when they have been requested to do so.
ThinPrint, a brand of Cortado AG, is spamming addresses they know to be dead for two plus years via their own IPs.
Canal Plus Finland, a brand name of the Swedish-based C More Entertainment Ab, a provider of premium TV services, is spamming addresses they know to be dead for two plus years via Basefarm Ab, a Swedish provider of Internet services.
Bon-Ton is a chain of department stores, according to Google. I’m not familiar with them. There are definitely no Bon-Ton stores in the city I live in. I’ve never purchased anything from them, online or in store. Yet, they sent me this email via ESP CheetahMail. I smell an email append; this particular spamtrap seems to get personalized spam where people think this address is some other person, based on a faulty database match of some sort.
I personally will not be accepting any more mail from 8.7.42.227, except to report it to various blocklist groups.
Fonecta Oy, a Finnish media agency, continues to spam addresses at a domain that has changed hands two years ago via their CRM tool despite endless e-mail opt-outs, phone calls, etc. Fonecta have assured the domain owner on a number of occasions that all old addresses have been removed, but actions speak louder than words: the spam continues.
