... Good evening, all, I'm seeing a _lot_ of URL redirection sites I've never seen before:
shorten.in, registered Aug 20, 2006 (http://shorten.in/194 -> prosperityautomatedsystem.com) simurl.com (http://simurl.com/ss-nn-uu -> julesent4.info -> prosperityautomatedsystem.com) qdeo.com (http://qdeo.com/53 -> julesent4.info -> prosperityautomatedsystem.com) kuturl.com (http://kuturl.com/x.php?za -> 404)
This last one now shows:Because of the actions of a SPAMMER - we have withdrawn this service. So, apologies to all of you who genuinely used our free service. You can blame the scum who ruined it for everyone else. We try hard to help others, while some are determined to prove themselves as lower than amoeba crap.
Many of the URLs redirect to www.prosperityautomatedsystem.com.

Well, at least part of the path is well known and recognizable:See Spamhaus' ROK3985, ROK4460, ROK4682, ROK6181, ROK6713 and ROK6937 for the address in shdns.info)
But does that inform us about the redirection sites themselves? That's what the questions really about. We do know that they're being abused by spammers, but are the redirectors owned or operated by spammers?
