In reference to my earlier posts (1, 2) on the topic. Regus (pretends to be the Luxembourg business, but have a well established local presence) continue to mail outdated and erroneous addresses, and more importantly, fail to observe opt-out.
BioMedLib (bmlmail.com, bmlsearch.com) are spamming scientists with invitations to sign up for their service. They are doing their own bulking from what appear to be “business grade” cable connections from various providers, with generic rDNS, in Virginia. The domains are registered via Yahoo! to Mir Siadaty, of 1112 Rustic Willow Lane, Charlottesville, VA 22911. The bmlmail.com domain was only registered three-ish weeks ago. Something tells me signing up isn’t required for the “service” to continue.
Ratekoulutus (see biz reg) wants to teach spamtraps how to advertise on Google. They have a bit of a history here.
Acc Consulting (see biz reg) is inviting spamtraps to courses on work safety. I mentioned the issue of using outdated addresses (specifically, the problem of purchasing same from Fonecta, and of using purchased lists in general) to them in email on Feb 21, but don’t think I’ve had a response, and the marketing efforts continue.
Laboratoire de Biotechnologie du Luxembourg S.A. (genecust.com, distribio.com) is spamming addresses obtained from articles published in scientific journals. As far as I can tell, they’re doing their own spamming from a VPS at sivit.org (a service provided by Nerim).
Pediatrics & Therapeutics, a scientific journal published by the OMICS Group, wants to solicit spamtraps to make submissions to the journal. The ESP is Benchmark.
Vistaprint are spamming, as always. Fonecta (specifically their Kontaktikone branch) are helping, as always. The addresses so targeted are severely outdated, as always. Nothing new under the sun. A marriage made in heaven, or in Hell, whichever you prefer.
Symantec are advertising Ghost Solution Suite to outdated contacts of theirs and thereby continue to demonstrate their lack of respect for the recipient’s opt-out. Now there’s nothing spectacular about senders not removing bounces, but Symantec have been informed of the domain having changed hands and hence their contacts being outdated in June 2011, and again in November 2011, over the phone, even, as well as their rep having been pointed to the earlier posts here. The ESP is Responsys, as before, who have failed to note the issue in any way – I’m labeling this an ESP problem as well.
Aviva Systems Biology Corporation is spamming scientists, very professionally indeed from somebody’s personal domestic/residential-looking ADSL connection in San Diego. Perhaps Matt Landry’s as that’s his name in the Reply-To:? The abandoned ANAC satellite / Chinese phone numbers, the Chinese domain registrar, and the Chinese DNS in the domain registration of avivasysbio.com are rather telling.
