Streamsend, the ESP service of ISP EZ Publishing, is sending bulk email to an email address that hasn’t been live since the 1990s. The email advertises EZ Publishing webhosting and development services.
Piarmainos.com, a Finnish printing and packaging company, is hitting a few spamtraps that have not been live email addresses for over five years. The ESP is Streamsend.
J.D. Byrider, a U.S.-based used car retailer and franchise with its own credit company, just sent a bulk email advertisement to an email address that, if it ever existed, closed before 2002. The ESP is Streamsend.
Realty One Group, which describes itself as “Nevada’s #1 Full Service Residential Real Estate Brokerage” (wheew!), a few months ago began sending bulk email newsletters to an email address that closed in 2008. Today’s newsletter is for… *Facebook* users… who struggle with the new Timeline feature. (Huh?) This spamtrap receives quite a bit of real-estate-related spam, so I think that it once belonged to a real estate agent who moved on after the market collapsed. The ESP is Streamsend.
The Canadian business EPS Inc., of 1625 Maisonneuve Ouest Suite 305, Montreal, Canada H3H 2N4, tel. +1-514-933-4119, fax +1-514-933-9519 is spamming scientists to advertise a conference they are arranging. Their ESP is StreamSend, part of Web development and hosting firm EZ Publishing, whose acceptable use policy forbids the sending of unsolicited bulk email.
Several weeks ago I blogged about spam from Coast to Coast Career Fairs LLC, an organization that sets up and runs career fairs in cities across the United States, to a spamtrap that never existed at all. Since then, the spam has continued. Subsequent spams from this sender showed that they have a name assigned to this spamtrap address, a name that has no connection to the email address in question since that email address has never been valid. This is a strong sign that Coast to Coast Career Fairs is using a purchased e-pended list. Their ESP is StreamSend, part of Web development and hosting firm EZ Publishing.
Apparently Coast to Coast Career Fairs LLC, an organization that sets up and runs career fairs in cities across the United States, wants spamtraps to attend their San Diego Job Fair. They spammed an email address at a domain that has never had a valid email address in its history via ESP StreamSend, part of Web development and hosting firm EZ Publishing.
NOTE: Streamsend’s bulk emails are normally sent from the domain mailengine1.com. Tagged URLs in their emails use the domain streamsend.com.
