They have been spamming for some time now. I've received 8-10 of those messages from them over the past couple months.

I checked thier site and found it is 3 pages web site with limited information. I guess they are very new and not aware of Spamming. They will soon come to know when thier ISP will give a kick on the bu*p.

May be ISP is aware of it and trying to ignore. If this is the condition there is no point of wasting time sending email to them.

The best way is to block and re-direct the email from them to the its right place - garbage (recycle) bin

If you keep getting spammed by the same business, keep after their ISP. Keep reporting them, keep complaining. When it comes to spam, if no one reports it, then it's not a problem for the provider.

There are also blacklisting agencies that you can report the ISP to for allowing spam.

We've seen the same spamming From Them over the course of the last 4 or so months. (and saving the emails for submitting to http://www.spamcop.net):D

What really bit my *ss was when we registered the .net and .org TLD's for INet7 at OpenSRS and not 24 hours later....I was spammed by "oemmail.com" with the following:

Hello,

We've just been notified that you have purchased inet7.net. Great!

Now that you have your domain, wouldn't it be GREAT to have email@inet7.net?
Wouldn't it even be better if you could offer FREE web-based email for your visitors?

Well now you can! For FREE!!! Using our web-based email, you will:

• Generate more revenue for your company!
• Get FREE advertising for your company!
• Increase the value of your domain name!
• Improve the "stickiness" of your site!
• And best of all, get email ASAP!

Go to http://oemmail.com/ to get started.

BLAH BLAH BLAH..... Now where are they getting this info in such a timely manner? Makes me wanna puke knowing that every time we register a domain for a new client....they could be getting spammed with "other" offerings. :bawling:

I received spam a few time ago with instruction "if you want to remove your email from our mailing list you have to call certain number. Please note there is no other way to be removed"
:angry: :angry: :kaioken: :kaioken:
Isn't it disgusting that you receive an email on your sales email address with instruction to give a call to get removed from a bloody stinking mailing list to which you never subscribed nor will.

I suppose it's one of those pay per minute numbers...

I not sure. I didn't give a call. I just went to thier web site and send them a warning email at thier sales email that either they remove us from thier stnking mailing list to which we never subscribed or we will be worse then them. With a caps "NO WAY WE ARE GOING TO GIVE A CALL TO GET REMOVED"

surprisingly it worked. Though I was not sure it will.:stickout

Either they are harvesting from a WHOIS, or they are getting the addresses directly from OpenSRS. oemmail.com may be a partner of theirs, or they may just purchase them outright.

All last summer, Interland was filling my physical mail box with junk mail (sometimes a couple of times a week) desperately trying to sell me hosting for the domains I registered with NSI-Even though I'd said "no, I don't want to hear about specials or offers from you your partners or other third parties", they had still given my mailing address to them.

heh, spam them back, gather every e-mail you can from them and spam them back, also spam their ISP advertising them with the e-mail they sent you, maybe their ISP will get the point when they get 200+ e-mails, maybe saturnhost will get the point when every one of their e-mail acounts gets spammed.

Maybe I should do the worse thing out there and go to one of those MASS PORN subscription sites and sign them up to it :-) - sign as many of their e-mail addresses as possible up to it.

Ive done it before with somebody when i got 5 e-mails from them, i wasnt surprised that i never got anything from them after that :-)

He he he, thanks for the tips. I guess I have to try this soon, since from last 3 days I am trying to get rid of spam list with no luck.
