Design A Print, Inc., a South Carolina-based custom printing and design business, is sending bulk email advertisements to an email address that was closed in 2007. This spamtrap has not previously received email from Design A Print, at least not since it finished its timeout period and was re-enabled in early 2010. The ESP is Vertical Response.
Academic Insight, a U.S.-based academic test preparation service, is sending bulk email advertisements to an email address that was closed in 2003. This spamtrap has also not previously received email from this company. The ESP is Vertical Response.
MyEquipmentDealer.com, a web site where people and companies post classified advertisements to sell (mostly-used) tools and equipment, is sending bulk email advertisements to a role email address, an address that never sent email and never subscribed to receive bulk email of any kind. Since the spamtrap has not previously received email from this company, it appears that a typo or malicious subscription in a web form or a purchased list caused this. The sending ESP is Vertical Response.
InteleTravel.com, a reputable travel industry organization that recruits and supports home-based travel agents, is sending bulk emails to email addresses that either never existed or have been closed for years. None of the email addresses in question appear to have belonged to travel agents. One was at a company not in the travel business that has long since gone out of business. So how did these email addresses get on InteleTravel.com’s list? The ESP is Vertical Response.
