I have opted out, sent cease and desist letters to no avail. I have also filed FTC complaints. Not only that, I go to the service and/or company they are marketing and file a complaint with them and against them with the FTC.

Yes, indeed, stomped! I’m all with Amy. I receive more spam from this guy than regular, wanted email. I spend hours to separate his crap from the email I want. It’s simply unbelievable. How does one stop such a pest?

The source of the spam emails is the company in your DNS query above: Registration Service Provided By: RIDGECREST CONSULTING This company is in the DNS lookup for all the domains being used. Their company website with contact information is here: http://www.ridgecrestconsult.com I recommend filing a complaint directly with them. If they don't remove you immediately, then file a complaint with the state of Utah, the Utah BBB, and the FTC.

Dear Amy
I, too, have been scammed by Purelift and would like to know the reaction ( or better still ‘action’) your letter produced.

So how do I make it stop? Spambully was useless. How do I make him go away? Clearly he’s a parasite who deserves to be stomped.

Owen,
millions of victims receive this unwanted spam just as you describe it

The 223 W Bulldog Blvd #551 Provo, UT 84604 spammer deploys many tricks in the book to try to evade your spam filters: an image instead of text, different domains, different IP addresses from which the emails originate, lots of garbage text hidden in the email message, the inability for a victim to unsuscribe from their mailings…. those are all tell tell signs of snowshoe spammer.

I’ve been receiving a new flood of spam with an interesting signature. It has a usual unsubscribe message:
To not recieve anymore. Please visit this link.
223 W Bulldog Blvd #551 Provo, UT 84604

But I was surprised Postini did not mark it as trash. After a bit of research, I found two interesting attributes of all the spam:

1 – The unsubscribe message above was not text, but was an image. It was also to a different URL each time.

2 – A somewhat weird header was used, apparently to out-fox spam filters:
X-Spamshield-Status-Data: Skipped, authenticated user

.. so to knock it out until Postini gets hip, I just added the latter header to my mail client’s filter, moving it to the spam folder.

I’d be interested if anyone else receives these.

One effective way to deal with spammers and with corporations who hire these spammers is to utilize CAN SPAM act. Did you know that each spam mail you receive can be worth HUNDREDS of DOLLARS in legal damages due to you? Thatâ€™s why CAN SPAM Act was created. CAN SPAM exists for victims of spam : yes -> you can hire a lawyer and go after the spammer and the corporation who hired the spamer to spam you. We suggest that you file your complaint with Federal Trade Commission: FTC Deals specifically with the Spammers who do not comply with CAN-SPAM act and you can file your complaint with FTC against the Spammer here. In the FTC complaint form, use option that the complaint is Internet Related and in sub menu choose Other Internet Practices, next screen will give you option to choose SPAM oriented complaint, with options such as Cannot Unsubscribe. etcâ€¦.
