professionalhubs.com: fake company name sending more spam

Posted on September 10, 2012 by admin

jslaughter@professionalhubs.com

One B2B scam/spam we’ve seen, apparently from one of the many fake company names in the India-based Data Champions group, is signed by a so-called “Joan Slaughter” at jslaughter@professionalhubs.com.

“Joan Slaughter” spam is supposedly a “Business development consultant” at a company called “Professional Hubs” (professionalhubs.com), at least that what the spam is signed. Of course, there’s no phone number or other valid contact information in the spam.

It turns out that there’s no web site at profesionalhubs.com, and the registration for the domain is anonymous and hidden. What’s more, the spam was sent from an anonymous spam server called activeapps.biz [199.175.48.231], which has apparently sent other spam on behalf of this same group of scammers using fake company and person names to try to sell their email lists.

joan.slaughter@superxestar.com

Another one of their phony Joan Slaughter aliases selling email addresses uses a different return address: joan.slaughter@superxestar.com.

The superxestar.com domain has been used to sign a lot of their spam lately, but the fake company name, and the snail-mail address in the signature (often fake) changes frequently.

In this particular batch of Data Champions spam, “Joan Slaughter” is a Business development consultant for “Gaintmail Services Pvt Ltd – We Create Opportunities!” — a fake company name that is using 2054 Sacramento St San Francisco, CA 94204 as its contact address. Google Maps has difficulty locating this address, perhaps because it doesn’t exist.

Different phony addresses have been used in other superxestar.com and nextestar.com spams before, for example:

More spam and scam domains, and more fake company names

Posted on September 7, 2012 by admin

New domain names, new fake company names and new fake employee names are constantly appearing in new spam selling B2B email-address lists from the India-based Data Champions and similar spam and scam groups.

Here are a few recent identities we’ve been seeing in this kind of spam recently

protargetdata.com
Spam claims to be from “Pro-target Data Inc,” but we found no record of any such company and there is no web site at protargetdata.com, as expected. A so-called Jenessa Mark (jenessa.mark@protargetdata.com) with no contact information except the spam email address claims to be “Business Development Executive.” She most likely does not exist.

Spam mailed from a known anonymous Data Champions spam domain: activeapps.biz [199.175.48.232] (not to be confused with their activeappsrvr.com spam server).

proinfopoint.com
No web site, no company name, no contact info, anonymous domain registration. Spam simply signed “Eric Scott, List expert.” Spam mailed from a Google mail server, so there’s no point reporting it.

American Accurate Data Inc. (aadatabizleads.com / aadatainc.com)
Spam signed Sandra Wilson (LOL). They’ve used that name before in spam signed sandra@flmails.com (“Sandra Wilson, Online marketing manager, Flmails Inc (302) 409-0344”). Interestingly, that phone number has been seen also in spam signed “Kristen Brown (kristen@leadsinfo.us), Online Marketing Manager, Leadsinfo, Inc, (302) 409-0344.” Apparently more non-existent companies.

Other “Wilson” addresses we’ve seen in similar spam are:

  • John Wilson (John.Wilson@cert1fy1.com), no company name
  • Tom Wilson (Tom.Wilson@dt5ls.com), no company name
  • Sophie Wilson (sophie.wilson@nicheitlist.com). mailed from their anonymous eappcluster.com spam server [206.72.199.228]
  • Gloria Wilson, Business Development Consultant (gwilson@elitegameserver.com / intelserver.biz)
  • Megan Wilson (megan.wilson@apocite.com), Senior Marketing Manager, Cyscoemail Services Pvt Ltd (non-existent company) – We Create Opportunities! 1211 Louisiana Street, Harwick, Pennsylvania, USA 15001 (non-existent address)
  • Nelly Wilson (nelly.wilson@mascoemails.com), Senior Marketing Manager, Phone:267-274-2163, Elettermails Services (non-existent company) – We Create Opportunities! 1211 Louisiana Street, Harwick, Pennsylvania, USA 15001 (same non-existent address as above Wilson spam mail)
  • Bruce Wilson, Business Development Coordinator, no company name (brucew@pumalists.com)
  • Jeanne Wilson, Business Consultant, no company name (jeanne.wilson@globalarrange.com)
  • Debbie Wilson, Market Research Consultant, no company name (debbie.wilson@marketplaceassociate.com)
  • Kate Wilson (kate.wilson@proemails.biz), Technology Data Specialist, Primary Data Group (non-existent company), 866-978-1013, Church Street 7th Floor, New York 10007
  • Randy Wilson (randy.wilson@wearbluebase.com), BlueBase Group / Database Media
  • and many more …

Back to “Sandra Wilson.” Spam is signed “Business Development Coordinator” (sandra@aadatabizleads.com) has been sent from a Google mail server. aadatabizleads.com has no web site, but its sister domain, aadatainc.com, does have a web site. Of course it has no contact info. Some of the text on the aadatainc.com web site also appears on the tlclists.com web site (another spammy site selling email addresses).

The tlclists.com web site does boast contact addresses in Los Angeles and Omaha, but if you look them up, you’ll find that they are the locations of mailbox rentals, which is usually the case for these spam-n-scam operations.

qualified-prospects.com
Another apparent non-company with no contact info. Spam signed Lynn Rigaud (lynn.rigaud@qualified-prospects.com)

New Scam and Spam Domains Selling Email Lists and “Data Appending”

Posted on August 2, 2012 by admin

New domain names (with no web site, usually), forever-changing fake identities and non-existent company names send spam trying to sell you email lists from the India-based “Data Champions / Sloan Marketing group” and others like them.

superxestar.com / nextestar.com / cimebol.com

Superxestar.com is a brand-new throwaway domain, just registered a few days ago, apparently to replace their nextestar.com and cimebol.com throwaway domains.

Non-existent snail-mail addresses are often used in the signature of spam signed superxestar.com / nextestar.com / cimebol.com / elettermails.com / mascoemails.com, fake addresses like: 1213 Theobold Avenue, Greensburg, Pennsylvania, USA 15002; or 1211 Louisiana Street, Harwick, Pennsylvania, USA 15001.

The company names are fake, and keep they changing too. You might receive spams in this batch from fake companies like: Dfixmails Services; Domfixmails Services Pvt Ltd; Eringson Services Pvt Ltd; Zimico Corporation Pvt Ltd; Zimi Corporation Pvt Ltd.; CimebolMails Services Pvt Ltd; Mailmart Marketing Group; Cyscoemail Services Pvt Ltd.; Zycietech Pvt Ltd.; Zycoetech Services; Eletter Services LLC.

Avienet.com anonymous spam server and other spam signatures, like jetteremail.com

Some superxestar.com spam is being sent from a new spam server of theirs called avienet.com [213.175.200.122]. There’s also a new jetteremail.com doamin, which is a lot like the elettermails.com domain they used a lot for a while (especially when using the fictitious company signature, “Elettermails Services”).

Some other anonymous spam servers in use for this B2B spam, and not listed on any of the black lists, to our knowledge, include: informations7.info [74.3.161.110]; astromae.com [109.230.251.49] / aspoxmail.com / aspsemail.com; edatacluster.com on lstn.net [208.115.206.238]; ibamailer.com / datafinder.us [216.27.7.230]; pearlxpet.com [31.214.169.127].

You might also get spam signed from non-existent people like “Donald Harris | Business Development Coordinator | dh@marketmastermind.info”; “Nuala Merrigan | Data Finder, Inc. | 408-512-1308 | nmerrigan@datafinder.us”; “John Houghton | Marketing Analyst | Tech Users Centre, Inc. | 4561 Sunderland Road | Arlington, VT 05250”; “Willie Peters | willie.peters@jetteremail.com / postmaster@pearlxpet.com”.

Scam and Spam Email Lists for sale, Phony Company and Employee Profiles

Posted on July 27, 2012 by admin

We’ve seen the rotation of ever-changing fake identities and non-existent company names and web sites used to sign spam selling email lists from the India-based “Data Champions / Sloan Marketing group” and others like them.

Now, there’s more. Personal profiles for some of these non-existent people, complete with a phony resume, and perhaps a stolen photo (how would we ever know?), are starting to appear on networking web sites. Meanwhile, some company directories are indexing these fake companies and displaying the results on their web sites(!), not realizing that the companies and “employee names” don’t really exist.

Scams and Spams: Email-address lists for sale, often from India

Posted on July 20, 2012 by admin

The spam you may have received, the ones selling B2B email addresses, seem to come from an endless number of fake companies, fake employees and anonymous domain names — but they often all lead back to the India-based “Data Champions / Sloan Marketing group”

B2B Scams / Spams Selling Email-Address Lists Using Fake Identities

Posted on June 27, 2012 by admin

An endless list of anonymous spam servers, fake employee names and non-existent companies with no real-life address are what you’ll find in the spam you receive from the India-based Data Champions and similar spam and scam group selling email addresses.

You’ll want to blacklist these yourself. Well-used blacklists like URIBL rarely list these scam domains. When they do, it’s usually only for a few days, after which time, the scam and spam is deemed OK again for some reason.

For example, if your spam includes an address, it’s usually a rental mailbox somewhere, not an office. Sometimes there are typos in the address.

  • 1024 Iron Point Road, Folsom, California 95630, United States, 213-455-2094
  • 100 Congress Ave Austin, TX 78701 USA, 802 490 3458
  • MWB Cannon Street, 60 Cannon Street, London, EC4N 6NP
  • 28 9th Broadway, New York, NY 10003, 800 325 7831

Occasionally, the addresses used are entirely fake. They think nobody will check to see if an address exists, and sometimes they’re right!

  • 235 Saint Johns Avenue, Holland Patent, NY 13355
  • 1211 Louisiana Street, Harwick, Pennsylvania, USA 15001

A feư fake company names they use:

  • E-Market Exper Inc
  • Interested Contacts Inc
  • Mailmart Marketing Group (We Create Opportunities!)
  • Tech Users Centre, Inc.
  • ED Group., 678-713-5806
  • Business Email Lists Inc, Vermont, United States, 802-490-3458
  • Email Bridge.Inc
  • Cyscoemail Services Pvt Ltd.
  • SixChannels Data

Is it “Accurate Prospects,” “Email Bridge Inc,” or “Data Services Inc?” (We have so many fake company names, we don’t know which ones to use today!)

Posted on May 9, 2012 by admin

B2B spam selling crappy B2B e-mail lists from the India-based Data Champions / Sloan Marketing and similar groups use so many fake company names and sender names for their spam.

A lot of the recent spam in this group is signed by a non-existent company called “Accurate Prospect” or “Accurateprospects Inc,” usually with an address in Folsom, California. But sometimes they call it “Initiate Venture LLC,” “Data Services Inc.,” “Email Bridge Inc.,” or something else.

The address used is really only a rented mailbox, not an office address: 1024 Iron Point Road Folsom, California 95630. The phone number in these spams is commonly 800 305 1062. They also use a mailbox in the UK, which they also try to pass off as an office address: 60 Cannon Street, London EC4N 6NP.

Other possible mailbox addresses and phone numbers used in these spam / scam emails include several in Texas (for example, 9404 Business Drive, Austin, TX 78758, 800 325 7831), a couple in New York City (28 9th Broadway, New York 10003 Ph: 800-325-7831; and 100 Church Street, 7th Floor, New York City, 10007, 800-316-0891), and many more!

There is no real “Accurate Prospects” company or web site, so they use any means possible, and as many identities as possible, to get their spam out there, including AOL and Google. For example, recent “Accurate Prospects” spam that you receive may be signed with one of these fake names (which sometimes contain “.us” in the address”):

  • Victoria Carter (victoria.carter.us@aol.com), Business Development, “Marketing List”
  • Lucy Webb (lucy.webb@aol.com), List Consultant, “Reach Your Target List And Appending Service 2012”
  • Kelly Barner (kelly.barner.us@gmail.com), Marketing Executive, “Target Specific Email Lists”
  • Alisha Crain (alisha.crain@aol.com), Business Development, “Marketing List”
  • Steve Bob (steve.bobmktg@mail.com), Marketing Executive – List Division, ” IT Top Decision Makers List – 2012″
  • Lipsa Jackie (lipsa.jackie@gmail.com), Marketing Executive – List Division, “IT Top Decision Makers List – 2012”
  • Mike Balte (mike.balte@gmail.com), Marketing Executive – List Division, “IT & All Industry Marketing Email List 2012”
  • Jennifer Wise (jennifer.wise@aol.com), Marketing Manager, “Email Lists – 2012 & Appending Service”

  • Evan Parker (evan.parker.us@gmail.com), Marketing Executive, “Target Specific Email Lists”

Sometimes they even claim — falsely, no doubt — to be a “DMA Approved Organization!”

Throwaway B2B spam domains selling email lists on softlayer.com / theplanet.com

Posted on May 3, 2012 by admin

Many B2B spams selling email lists, signed by multiple fake identities and company names in use by scam groups such as the India-based Data Champions, are mailed from servers hosted on the softlayer.com network.

The IP addresses of these servers is constantly changing, in the hope that nobody ever notices, and to help keep these servers (and the softlayer.com network) from getting blacklisted.

For example, the Data Champions’ anonymous spam server inforelaymedia.com is hosted on softlayer.com at 174.36.164.137. Perhaps you’ve received spam from that server selling email addresses, signed by one of these bogus identities from non-existent companies [note that entries 2-4 have very similar phone numbers]:

  • Rachel Fox (rachel.fox@streamdatabase.com). Signed “Sr. Business Development Executive (no company name), 713-481-7746 x4303
  • Tim Russell (tim.russell@Datamanager.us). Signed “Account Manager, 678-713-5813, EDG Inc., 340 S. Cleveland Ave, Bldg 370, Westerville, OH 43081.”
  • Sandra Tanner (sandra.tanner@globalemaillist.com). Signed “Sandra Tanner, ED Group. 678-713-5806.” They’ve also sent spam with this signature from their expurgatemail.com [208.77.97.13] spam server
  • Fiona Gibson (fionag@verified-contacts.com). Signed “Assistant to Ian Smith, 678-713-5811.”

A number of domains hosted in the 174.132.220.* IP range on softlayer.com / theplanet.com have been Data Champions or similar rotating B2B scam domains recently. For example:

  • technoslit.com / 174.132.220.134 (sending spam signed stacy.odell@zycietech.com [Stacy Odell], shirley.kendrick@zycoetech.com [Shirley Kendrick], lois.martin@elettermails.com [Lois Martin],
    grace.white@ziptypoemails.com [Grace White], grace.white@ermarket.com [Grace White], betty.thomas@mascoemails.com [Betty Thomas], joyce.regan@doxemail.com [Joyce Regan], lorraine.greg@pearlslit.com [Lorraine Greg])
  • inforelaymedia.com / 174.132.220.189 (sending spam signed snider.hellen@gmail.com [Helen Snidar], Ross.woods.us@gmail.com [Ross Woods])
  • itech2b.com / 174.132.220.184 / 174.132.220.192 (sending spam signed diane.hill@organicsemail.com, postmaster@pearlxpet.com, postmaster@itech2b.com )
  • edigitalriver.com / 174.132.220.196 (sending spam signed andy.avery@interestedcontacts.com )
  • email-runner.com / 174.132.220.210 / 174.132.220.211 (sending spam signed alex.moddox@gmail.com, mercy.jones@organicsemail.com)
  • hikebiketexas.com / 174.132.220.212 / 174.132.220.218 (Doesn’t sound like a B2B spam domain, does it? Obviously a recycled domain name… Sending spam signed bill.nelsonq@gmail.com [Bill Nelson], lisathomas87@rocketmail.com [Lisa Thomas], rachel.lax.us@gmail.com [Rachel Lax]), rosemary.zeitoun@gmail.com [Rosemary Zeitoun], robsonwalton.p@gmail.com [Robson Walton .P], amy.altig.us@gmail.com [Amy Altig]
  • sohostu.com / 174.132.220.241 (sending spam signed nancy.smith@worldwidemailinfo.com [Nancy Smith], alma.jones@globalarrange.com [Alma Jones], teresaj@globalclients.biz [Teresa])
  • mailcontrol4.com / 174.132.223.218 (sending spam signed sandra.king@bizonlinepoint.com [Sandra King], alma.jones@globalarrange.com [Alma Jones], patricia.thomson@infodmail.com [Patricia Thomson], elsie.davis@globalarrange.com [Elsie Davis], nancy.smith@worldwidemailinfo.com [Nancy Smith])
  • exchangemails.net / 174.132.223.226 (sending spam signed rachel.smith@p-dmails.com [Rachel Smith])

Of course, you’ll find those same signature addresses above in spams selling email lists sent from their other spam servers too–not just the servers mentioned here.

“Technology Users Lists,” Phony Identities and Companies Selling Email Addresses

Posted on May 2, 2012 by admin

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:
