Seems someone is now spamming, having scooped the domain registry, sending SPAM messages, addressed to "yourdomainname.com" (what ever your domain name is) with the associated administrator's e-mail address.

It seems that everyone with a domain will get this SPAM message, and for those with many domain names, will be getting a constant flow of SPAM messages.

This has been going on now for at least several days. The messages have, in the subject line, some combination of words: "Craigslist" and "Money Making."

Anyone else getting these spams?

Yes, I'm getting it thru one of my email addresses.

However, the email address that has a tough spam filter is not receiving any of them.

As I never use Craigs List, I set up a filter for it.

Received the e-mail as well. The title was a bit "catchy" but I still chucked it in my trash.

I'm getting them daily too.
Filters in place right to the spam-box.

Would like to see this person/group get hit with 22 million fine from ICANN.
This is what gives online marketing a bad name. :sad:

Been getting hundreds of them - craigslist, ebay, credit reports etc.. as soon as the filter is applied they start sending out the next gimmick. The twit is clearly trolling whois for emails.

Getting hundreds a day, its easy to filter as all my whois emails go to one folder so sort by subject and everything which came more than twice easy delete, takes me 1 minute. Sofar greylisting was protecting me, now they are sending it mroe sofisticated. They will not make a penny from me anyway...

BTW I do not blame spammers for spam but those idiots who are ordering from spam. Without these idiots would be no spam.

BTW, People who buy from spammers are just as bad as people who buy products promoted on TV by Billy Mays (Mr. In-Your-Face Spam Screamer), who I predict will easily win the "Most Obnoxious Jerk of the Decade Award."

Well probably same intelligence level but at least "as seen on tv" can be easily switched off...
