Elfcloud (www), a service operated by elfconsulting oy (biz reg, responsible people) is advertising its services through spam.
Would you buy “secure” services from, or trust your data to, somebody who respects your privacy enough to reach into your pocket for their advertising budget without your knowledge or consent?

Finnair, Finland’s national airline, has failed to process bounces for quite some time. So, if you are a valued customer of Finnair, and the email address you registered with Finnair is no longer yours, and you continue to fly with Finnair, you’re set up for a really interesting situation.

The NetPosti service of the Finnish Post is one of the most offensive parties to illegally handle outdated and erroneous personal data. They’ve finally woken up. Sorta.
Valmennustalo Educo Oy (www, biz reg, responsible people) is spamming to sell their services. The ESP iswas MailChimp, one of our favourites, who have already done the needful.
We were recently made aware of bl.suomispam.net, a DNSBL targeted at Finnish spammers only. We welcome the newcomer and wish it all the best!
St1, a fuel chain in Finland, is advertising their business fuel card services in illegal spam. They started (no later, but possibly earlier than) in October, and the only visible change is that the spamming domain names and IP addresses have changed for today’s missives.
(It was “postipalvelu.com” in October, and the complaint on Oct 10 was sent to St1 representatives in email only. No response was received. Kirjekyyhky.com was registered to an anonymous party on November 8, 2013. Pretty damn quick for getting thousands of subscribers, just over the weekend, huh? Oh, but those aren’t subscribers in the traditional affiliate marketing sense, they’re just crap harvested from business registers and the EuroAds “publisher” freely admits this.)
Acc Consulting Oy, our old friend (www, biz reg (note absence of email address…), responsible people) seems to be hell bent on spamming the living bejesus out of every business email address in Finland.
I’ve recently been complaining to DNA, Elisa and TeliaSonera about a few particularly persistent Finnish B2B mainsleaze spammers in their network. These responses are very enlightening:
Yes, we’re alive. There’s just too much spam to choose which one(s) to write about, too little time, and all your usual stuff.
The good news is we’ve got tons more spamtraps. The bad news is that we do, because it means we’re up to our ears in spam that’s eligible to write about… 🙂
Blancoa Oy (www, biz reg, responsible people) is spamming to sell temporary office space to spamtraps. This is not surprising because one of the people (possibly the only person) behind this is Janne Laitinen, also known under the business aliases “Yrityspostia.fi” and “Suunnittelutoimisto Jotain…”. What is surprising is that the ESP is MailChimp, who have been informed.
