I am sick of this

Thanks,

John Kennedy

I don't know if anyone else is, thought I saw a thread about this somewhere before. I have had enough. I cant stand a person that mines the whois to creat a spam list. ANybody that has info about Mr. Thomas or valid email adresses that I can return the favor , please PM me. I will FORWARD about 2400 spams per day to every valid adress that is associated with this company. Lets help each other payback this guy.

My first reaction would be to do what you said.

But, the best thing you can do, is hit your delete button.

I also get a lot of them.

If he knows you are alive. He will keep coming at you.

Plus, I am sure he has a spam filter. Because, everyone else probably tries to do the samething.

Yea, and now I got this bill or william oniell guy , i.e. sitescanner.com starting to pull some of the same type tactics.

I get them a lot too. The past couple months I've been getting a lot more of it for some reason. I always just delete it.

I got a site scanner this morning on a domain that was never down. lol.

I've received the topsites email several times also, but it was always because I had placed my site(s) in their database. It's free for a certain length of time (90 days, 6months?), then they want you to renew the listing, which costs the second time through.

Shame on me for not reading the terms before listing the first time.

They have not yet spammed me about any of my sites that had not already been added to their database.

Wyvern,

That explains a lot. I haven't submitted any domains to them. However, they probably found us because we bought a domain they already had in their database.

They use a FREE Dmoz database dump and then ask you to PAY...if you want to fight back, report them to Dmoz for every domain you have listed for free at Dmoz.com

They are no doubt playing the numbers game to find people willing to throw away money.

It's getting nuts. I am getting calls all the time from hosting companies (earthlink) among others trying to sell me hosting for newly registered domains. Since I register a lot they are always calling. It's at the point where I have talked to the same telemarketer more than once and I have asked repeatedly to be taken off of thier list and never to be contacted in the future but guess they don't cross reference.
