Spammer Alert
Just like to alert all web hosts of this spammer. Referred by WHT, so I figured I should post a heads up for all webhosts on WHT.
Signed up using following information:
Name: Mark Downs
Email: labas202@aol.com
Address: 1214 Hermosa Ave
Grand Junction CO, 81506
United States
Phone: 970-243-4212
IP : 68.20.31.121 ( United States )
Location: La Grange Park, IL 60526
Country Info: United States (US)
Area Code: 708
Just be on the look for that ip, it is a spammer. Within seconds of his account being setup, tried to send out over 1000 emails
Our techs noticed it immediately and terminated the account.Last edited by 1Ali; 05-29-2005 at 10:11 PM.

Didn't verify the order via phone?
If you didn't - it's your own fault.
And you shouldn't be spreading someone elses details here on WHT - as they're most likely not those of the spammer.

Well at least the phone number used was fake. Meaning he'll pick another at random

The reason for me sharing this information is so that others can be on the lookout of this user, he did not use proxy to signup.
If it is against the rule, than I guess a mod can remove it for me?Last edited by 1Ali; 05-29-2005 at 10:55 PM.

Standard Paypal phishing sceme.
Do a few hit and run sites. Hope you get one sucker before you get shut down.

Thanks for the heads up. I terminated a spammer's account before and he even email back to ask for a refund. I showed him the log and he just shut up.
