Fred Pryor Seminars: Business Training for Spamtraps!

Fred Pryor Seminars, doing business as CareerTrack, is emailing several of my spamtraps, most of them closed for over a decade. The emails offer business training courses of various types. The ESP is Yesmail, a division of Infogroup.

I have no conclusive proof, but these spamtraps taken together appear very much like what you would find on a high-quality email appended list. A few years ago several of them regularly received email from Edith Roman, a separate Infogroup division from Yesmail that openly emailed purchased, appended, and other opt-out lists with offers for training material. Yesmail itself has fairly strict standards and does not as far as I can tell knowingly allow customers to email any list that is not opt-in. I think that this customer might not have told them where the customer obtained their list.
