Finink.com: Selling printer inks to spamtraps / Oraakkeli.net: New Finnish B2B spammer
There’s a new player in town, Oraakkeli Oy (www, biz reg). They figure they’re doing something better than their competitors (that is, everybody in Finland spamming B2B lists completely indiscriminately) by spamming CEOs only. Their front page proudly says something about how they provide targeted B2B advertising and have a list of 35,944 CEOs from the 168,000 or so Finnish businesses in their list. The customer whose pitch they’re touting to “CEOs” is Finink.com (www, biz reg), an online retailer of printer inks.
Guess what, guys? Spamming CEOs only is still spamming just the same, not to mention that sending any UCE at all is against the acceptable use policy of your service provider A2 Web Hosting, and sending to mailing lists of more than 500 members as well. Prepare to look for new digs. Oh, and your address list is purchased or somehow sourced from Fonecta – it contains the same crap, which is why I know about you.

(We had an internal discussion about this and the consensus is that Oraakkeli Oy is not an ESP, contrary to what I thought to begin with. They’re just a spammer. They don’t offer the service of bulking to customer-owned lists; they sell the service of spamming their own list with your pitch. But I figure this is mainsleaze spam though – it is spam, obviously, and it is spam sent by a party who readily identifies itself, on behalf of another party who readily identifies itself.)
