No idea Robert, that was the first "broken" one in a while, so I thought it was all good. :( I will mention it to WebDev ;)

I hate spam, I especially hate spam from other hosts, I especially like to call up "COX" and have peoples account suspended, I think I'll do that now to annother spammer.

You realise by posting all those details, that people might sign up with them? Yep, I never understand why people in their complaining about spam repost the same thing they got. That's exactly why spammers send it out, to get people to read it, so why do their job for them?

Got them one more link in the search engines, too...

Well being that they are located in china, I understand it to see difficult to get them shut down, but does anyone have suggestions. I am sure if we get a decent amount of people to complain at once it would make our complaints a bit more powerful.. I am getting this a few times a week along with Karen Williams or whatever her name is.

Nah, no matter how much we complain, unless its within the US, we can't do a thing about it...well...we can, it would just be more hastle than worth.

But yeah, I get lots of spam, but when I trace it back, it's always from Asia too...

First SARS, now SPAM..geeze...when will it stop? Lol.

This is just another name for the site hosted at hostcentric.

The images are hosted at: http://images.markethosting.com/easyimg

Which returns to hostcentric.

Send your complaints to abuse@hostcentric.com or give them a call and voice your complaint.

Just got off the phone AGAIN with hostcentric.

It seems that my complaints (which have been sent EVERYDAY for the past 2 months) aren't enough to get this website shut down.


So you can call them at (407) 445-3033 x2141
and reference ticket number 812503 and complain again.


In the mean time, I'm getting my lawyer to draft a notice of legal action as the first step in a civil suit in recovering my costs (wasted bandwidth). Hopefully this will get this SPAM-friendly host to acknowledge people like me....
