Scientific Research Publishing (SCIRP): Spamming scientists, outdated and erroneous addresses
SCIRP are spamming addresses obtained from scientific publications in PubMed. This particular one was seen at an address that was last used to submit a paper in the fall of 2000 and is part of the new spamtrap group. They’re doing their own bulking, no ESP involved here.
