So, a few more phony identities in use by the Data Champions India-based spam / scam group and similar email list scams… Sometimes these scammers even claim in their spam that they are an “DMA Approved Organization.” However, you won’t find any information on the phony companies or phony employee names used to sign many of these scam emails:
– from their expurgates.net spam server at 50.97.3.93 (hosted at softlayer.com of course!)
- Brad Simpson: brad.simpson@softbizleads.com. Signed “866-978-8389, Softbizleads (no such company).” This phone number has been used in past spam signed with fake identities like terry.frazier@edatabuy.com (“OW Group”), rachel.pereira@acquleads.com (“Strategic Marketing Group”), helen.ryan@globalbizleads.com (“GlobalBizLeads – OW Group”), steven.adlock@clickforlead.com (“Strategic Marketing Group “)
- Ashley Lewis: ashleyl@globalclients.biz (“Business Consultant,” no phone number)
- Sara Jones: sara.jones@infodmail.com (“IT Security Technology Lists Specialist, Info dmail – Data Division,” no phone number)
- Anna Davis: anna.davis@infoamericaz.com (“Online Marketing Consultant,” no phone number)
- Rene Miller: rene.miller@datalistbiz.com (“Technology Database Specialist,” Technology Data Division,” 866-978-8534). Phone number used in other spam from bogus identities like kristin.williams@mailsi.biz, adriana.collins@techinfodata.com, ava.smith@techinfodata.com, rileyp@tech-contacts.com, natalieg@tech-contacts.com)

- Samantha Taylor: samantha.taylor@edatabuy.com (other fake edatabuy.com addresses in use include ashley.simpson@edatabuy.com, terry.frazier@edatabuy.com). And don’t forget about the similar-sounding databuy.net scam domain! (e.g. james@databuy.net)
- Then there’s the tara.hudson@edatainfo.net identity (“Tara Hudson, Online Marketing Coordinator”)
- and… melinda.williams@cantfinddata.com (“Melinda Williams,” Client Services, Cant Find Data.Inc (non-existent company, of course), 281-619-7003). Also mailed from their blazeconsrvr.com [208.77.102.176] spam server, hosted at rapidvps.com (cheap, spammer-friendly web hosting)
A few of the anonymous spam servers (usually with bland, innocuous-sounding names) sending out these spams with fake signatures include:
- nextns.info

- inforelaymedia.com / inforelaysrvr.biz
- precognified.com
- eappserver.net
