According to the web site:
According whois on 8/18/02: The lies from this spamhaus that I opted in began July 26, 2002: "Discover® Platinum Clear Card. Click here to see information about the APR, fees and other Important Information. You are receiving this email because you have opted-in to receive email from publisher: hotfreeoffers." BuyerCooperative www.buyercooperative.com
According to the email received 12/19/02: This spammer lied that I was a member and that I opted in: "You have received this email as a member of the BuyerCooperative special deals and mailings network, or because you elected to receive our special mailings through one our marketing affiliates." DigitalImpact www.digitalimpact.com
177 Bovet Road I started getting a newsletter about HP (Hewlett-Packard) products -- with commercial promotions -- from DigitalImpact. I never requested nor signed up for such a newsletter. A deceptive statement was always at the end of the email, such as: "Hewlett-Packard respects your privacy. It is our understanding that you have given your permission to receive informational e-mails like this one." dlbDirect www.dlbDirect.com
PO BOX 5806 All of a sudden I started getting spam from a place called dlbDirect. A statement at the bottom of the messages says "You can stop receiving email from dlbDirect by: Entering your email address below and clicking REMOVE." On March 26, 2002, their web site said at http://www.dlbdirect.com/index.php "dlbDirect provides a broad suite of services including high-volume email delivery to our affiliate and proprietary database of millions of permission based, online consumers. As well as comprehensive reporting, opt-in lists, front-end design and custom development of applications. Our services provide email list owners and publishers an alternative solution to communicate with their member base without the need for expensive IT personnel, hardware and bandwidth charges." More lies. I never gave permission nor did I opt in. EContacts www.econtacts.com
Following from http://www.econtacts.com/about.htm on 12/4/02: Econtacts spammed me wanting to know if I wanted to use their services to send out emails. emailhello www.emailhello.com www.impulsemg.com
Emailhello, Inc.
Impulsive Not much a hello to start getting spammed from emailhello and Impluse Marketing Group. The FROM addresses all had emailhello.com in them along with the following names: Nikki McAlister, Kelly Andrews, Susan Anderson, Lucy Jones, Erica Krew, Sandra Lewis, Nina Griffith, Sara Nolan, Megan Sullivan, Lily Smith. Funny thing. Everytime I called emailhello and asked for any of those names, nobody knew who I was talking about. Finally, one guy said in response to a particular name, "Oh, that's just a name." Another deceptive spam practice. All of the spams had implusive.com in the header, which shows above to be in Reno, NV. However, during one of the calls to emailhello.com, I was told that Impulse Marketing Group (www.implusemg.com) was involved with emailhello.com. When I called Impulse Marketing Group I was told emailhello.com is a "sister company." IdealEmails.com www.idealemails.com
Intervolved, Inc. www.intervolved.net
210 Rte. 4 E. Suite 303 JDRMedia www.JDRMedia.com www.JDRdirect.com On September 21, 2002, I received this from JDR Media. Welcome!I used to get spammed by Milespree. I never signed up for Milespree. So Milespree sells my email address to JDR Media, which then perpetuates the lie that I opted-in. Intervolved, Inc. www.intervolved.net
210 Rte. 4 E. Suite 303 Networkwork Commerce, Incorporated www.ncimarketing.com www.networkcommerce.com www.ombramarketing.com
411 First Avenue South #200N Spam received by Bruce Miller was neither solicited nor invited, even though nearly all messages contain a deceptive statement similar to this: "You are receiving this special offer because you have provided permission to receive third party email communications regarding special online promotions or offers." Network Commerce apparently started as shopnow.com, but that didn't work. I guess they think spamming will bail them out. OffersRUS www.offersrus.net.com http://offersrus.net/ad_mail_mega/reach_the_masses.htm

44 Montgomery St, Suite 1600 Virtumundo, Inc. as of February 8, 2002 vmadmin.com virtumundo.com treeloot.com CarHunt.com SpeedyReward.com Virtumundo's main web page on February 8, 2002 claimed the following: "Virtumundo, Inc. is a direct marketing company that specializes in providing demographically targeted solutions for advertisers, both online and in traditional media. We believe that by providing narrowly-targeted advertising to our viewers, our advertisers will be able to cut through the clutter and deliver campaigns with impact." [Emphasis added.] Many folks have been getting spammed by them. Spam received by Bruce Miller was neither solicited nor invited, even though nearly all messages contain a deceptive statement similar to these: "When you submitted information to IMustLotto.com, including your email address, you gave permission to have promotional offers delivered to you from third parties. If you take no action, you will begin receiving promotional offers from Virtumundo." The recipient of this spam email never signed up at IMustLotto.com.
