Back and forth… Lateralus Enterprise has moved

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.

On using purchased lists

I recently googled the words can I use a purchased email list and just had to share MailChimp‘s brilliant take on the topic. Yeah, I know it’s pretty old and predates this log by a year or three.

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.
