Kinda weird when their IP resolves to a covad.net in Philidelphia hehe.

"When you try bulk emailing on your own, using one of those so called "bulk email" software programs you will get shut down by either your ISP, or the backbone. You may operate for one day, or if you are good (or lucky) you may last a little longer. But sooner or later you will get shut down. Don't believe the hype that these programs work. You are supposed to be able to send from your computer without your ISP finding out, but you'll get caught. If your ISP doesn't catch you, they will still find out because they will get so many complaints by "anti-spammers" who will make sure you get shut down. It's a real hassle getting shut down and it's not worth it."

"No More Getting Shut Down! We are a Backbone and ISP which means you won't be shut down. We will make sure to bulk email properly for you. Bulk Email is not illegal, but needs to be done properly. If you try to bulk email on your own you need to understand the laws, you need to know how to handle your removes, etc.. We take care of all of this for you. We can send your company's email ad to millions of potential customers every month without you ever having to worry about getting shut down! "

what a lot of BS

Looks like they are hosting their mail sending in the Ukraine
so they are likely to have no problems doing it.

The website is hosted on a cable modem or ADSL.

They should arrest these guys! lol

Well that would be sort of hard considering this goofball is in the Ukraine. Even if they did have strict snti-spam laws like the U.S. which I'm sure they don't, they're too busy cleaning that ****hole up from what happened in chernovel.

Bottom line: It is impossible to stop people like this.

His phone # is in the US.

ARIN will shut anyone down regardless of their connectivity if spam/bulk email is reported. That is a bunch of crap.

That is not true.
Ukraine IP's come under RIPE.

Anyone who has been involved in SPAM will know that most of it comes from China and APNIC take no action.

The reason is that most of the IP's used for sending spam belong to academic organisations.
People who work in low paid jobs can make large amounts from facilitating spamming.
Its an accepted way of making money.
$100 is enough to maintain a family for a month in some countries.

Oh and Chernobyl is in Byelorus near Kiev (a different country).

1. ARIN does not deal with Spam complaints at all. No RIR should, in fact.
2. The IPs being used come from academic organizations largely because they have open relays and/or poor security, and no one with sufficient expertise and/or motivation to fix those problems.
3. The Chernobyl reactor accident was in the Ukraine, twelve kilometers from the Belarus border. http://www.belarusguide.com/chernobyl1/ctrace.html

I stand corrected.
i always think of it as being in Bylorus because thats where the cloud headed before it went north to Sweden.

Also SPAM is not illegal so it comes fairly low in a lot of networks priorities.

Gordon

Not so much control overseas, but then again, I get TONS from AOL users... Seems to far outweigh the number of non-AOL spam I get. I'm really tempted to dump my email account...

I got a spam email the other day about something similiar. I'll paste it below.

No you get spam from those using Aol as a return or FROM address and doesn't mean that aol users are sending them.

That's why you need to understand how to read headers.

90% of all spam email originate oustide the USA on unsecured mail servers or relays.

AHH I hate SPAM!

Well I called that place up and they are in the US and a Philiadelphia based company.. The website that is advertising the bulk email site is on dialup . I wonder if they would shut them down just for the fact that they are offering such services over a US based ISP connection.
