The Data Protection Ombudsman doesn’t want me to say his name out loud, but surely I can continue to state that bisnesrekisteri.fi, which is owned by Lateralus Enterprise, is again involved in spam.

A young man from Espoo, Finland, a private person carrying on trade under the primary name Lateralus Enterprise d/b/a Tavoite Media, who objects to being named here and has enlisted the help of the Data Protection Ombudsman’s Office to have his name stricken from this blog, is spamming to offer his e-marketing consultation services. I’ve seen his spam at my own business starting August 2011; apparently he’s managed to listwash my business (easy enough) but unfortunately for him, my ancient spamtraps contain some addresses that are in the Finnish Business Information System too, so I get his spam this way.
MK Ärilahendused OÜ is an Estonian business (registry code 12318871) whose M.O. is spam, specifically spam-for-hire – sending spam on behalf of others. “Äri” means business and “lahendused” translates to “solutions”, so it’s “MK Business Solutions Ltd” for those of us who are challenged with respect to Estonian.
MK Ärilahendused OÜ has been noticed by no.spam.ee. The sole owner of this business, Dmitri Mihhailov, is featured on the site, indicating that MK Ärilahendused OÜ has been at it for soon two years.
Filip’s got a site up on 93.190.138.215, reachable via his “Colombian” domain. I suppose Worldstream.nl might not entertain him for very long, and I was right, of course.
Back in November, I noted that my favourite spammer-boi had moved househis Bidniz HQ. It appears from the Finnish Business Information System that as of March 25, the Spam HQ is back in Espoo, at Kaskipuunkaari 7 M 38, 02340 ESPOO, which is a “right-of-occupancy” housing estate. According to the two results of a Fonecta Finder reverse lookup, the ownership of the phone number 040-594 0756 indicates the corresponding change both for Tavoite Media and the owner.
Getwin Oy (www, biz reg), a business partner of Tavoite Media / Lateralus Enterprise, is spamming (again, or still, whichever).
A little bird sang last week that Tavoite Media’s Bangladeshi resources had been termed. So now they’ve gone looking for more in Jordan. Of course there is nothing here to indicate that Tavoite Media is involved, but just how likely is it that Getwin have bothered to find a new partner in spam whose M.O. is exactly the same as that of the old one?
Unlike the previous entry, at least this spam was sent on behalf of a recognisable entity, Storia Kustannus Oy (www, biz reg). Storia’s representative confirmed in private email that they purchased the campaign from Tavoite Media, a d/b/a of Lateralus Enterprise.
“Riikka Mäkelä”, which appears to be a fake identity set up by Tavoite Media, a d/b/a of Lateralus Enterprise, recently offered us the following spam. This isn’t even mainsleaze, it’s pure and unadulterated spam, but it was sent to addresses commonly used for mainsleaze (that is, Finnish B2B addresses). There was reason enough for more than a suspicion about the sender’s true identity, and the following post confirmed it.
