New Mega-Spammers! Riverside Domain Brokers

[Gerry]

I am getting these emails in droves, now.

Take a look closely...each is reported to be from the same person but multiple registries:

Yesterday, it was different registries.

Yes, they offer an "opt out" but I doubt this will actually happen and I think you have to do it to each registry being used :veryangry:

Losers!

I got the same email about an expiring domain name very similar to one of my names. Five times. Same "Edward Clark", same "Riverside Domain Brokers", but from different recently registered domains.

It's the latest trick to spam with impunity: be a registrar.
Time to get icann involved.

Yes, it is always a domain variation I own...a dot net, a dot org. Most are a plural form. Now with hyphens, one, two, multiple. Annoying as hell. You can set your spam folders but with different email sources it is near impossible to stop them all. Those two above came at precisely the same time.

I simply tagged their email as spam and never seen them again.

What email client/spam are you using?

I'm running Thunderbird and they are getting around the spam settings by using different email addresses.

Same domainname, different name, different "company", same idea, fresh in my mailbox:

I use Eudora believe it or not, in "training mode". After a while, it knows what is spam.

I have a training mode with Thunderbird.

If I am not mistaken, you have to train it to recognize what is okay as well as what is junk.

Set the filter for 'Riverside Domain Brokers' in the body, from, subject etc. k:

 

[Skinny]

Yea got this email a few times of domains I own with variation.

Just set it as spam.

[simon johnson]

Ahh yes. I received one of these unsolicited emails today. It's a "numbers game" for them. Hopefully this thread serves a warning to others.

 

[ksinclair]

I have got a few but they were for domains that were upcoming expirations.
Maybe I got lucky but they were domains similar to mine, and I was interested
to backorder them.

So I treat their emails as notifications of upcoming backorders!

 

[Gerry]

Guess what? They must be reading this thread about spam blockers.

Look what I just got and look how they are identifying themselves now:

You do know that these guys use fake names right?

 

[Tim Schoon]

I'm replying to all of their spam saying I'm interested.

They buy the names on auction or reg them. I lose interest pretty quickly tho so they get stuck with the names.
If we all do that they should be out of 'business' quickly.

 

[exxe]

I'm replying to all of their spam saying I'm interested.

I've done that about 1 year ago. Afterwards they blacklisted my Admin-C email and didn't receive any more offers
