FEC endorses selling of email addresses
by Matthew Wilson 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

I thought you (fellow) anti-spam folks would get a kick out of this... "Draft rules from the Federal Election Commission, which enforces campaign finance laws, would require that paid political advertisements on the Internet declare who funded the ad, as television spots do. Similar disclaimers would be placed on political Web sites, as well as on e-mails sent to people on purchased lists containing more than 500 addresses." from http://www.chicagotribune.com/technology/chi-0505310158may31,1,5465703.s tory Matthew Wilson, MCSE (2003), MCSA-Messaging Network Administrator matthew(a)boomer.com Boomer Consulting, Inc. 610 Humboldt Manhattan, KS 66502 http://www.boomer.com <http://www.boomer.com/> 1-888-266-6375 x 17

PayPal Joe-job
by Joe Wein 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Since I list a lot of fake company domains in money-forwarding scams on my website (a data source of JP on multi.surbl.org), I seem to have offended a few people. Yesterday someone made 4 PayPal payments to my account, two from the US, one from France and one from Australia. PayPal caught it or was alerted and reversed all transfers, as well as suspending my account pending investigation. In the last two days I also received "fan mail" from Nigeria and South Africa regarding some anti-419 data that I publish. Just wanted to let you guys know. I take it as a sign that the scammers are feeling some pain, which is good :-) Joe Wein -- joewein.de LLC 6-30 Sumiyoshidai, Aoba-ku Yokohama, 227-0035, Japan E-Mail: joewein(a)pobox.com WWW: http://www.joewein.de

I believe this is the second incarnation I have seen of the email, used to be a different domain. Its quite annoying as the previous one was in the various surbl lists, but due to the obfuscation was not getting flagged. -----Original Message----- From: List Mail User [mailto:track@plectere.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 7:28 PM To: discuss(a)lists.surbl.org Cc: track(a)plectere.com Subject: RE: [SURBL-Discuss] Re: embedded image spams thouljthou1. com - multitrade group, now omnicorporation New name and address though.

[way off-topic] Email Cartoon

Perhaps you've seen, perhaps you haven't but here is some SPAM humor to pass the time. Sorry if you aren't interested but as my office has taken to referring to me as a SPAM junkie, I totally related to this cartoon and thought some of the others would too. WARNING: This cartoon could be considered offensive and should not be viewed by anyone. http://www.pccc.com/downloads/junk/cool/email_cartoon.mpg <shun>flames</shun> Regards, KAM
