Enola, PA | Anti-spammers do not spam!
It's obviously that these are just spammers under the guise of anti-spammers. I certainly wouldn't trust any product a spammer is pushing, especially not one that supposedly stops spam. |

Reminds me of those credit card offers they started doing a few years back, the ones where the introductory rate would be jacked up if you had a late payment to the card issuer, or ANY OF YOUR OTHER creditors. Instead of near-usury by association, in this case it's spam by association. |

Re: Reminiscent of other sleaze...
Well, a few months back...I got spam advertising antivirus software....
What make it stand out was that the spam carried a virus attachment.

Re: Anti-spammers do not spam!
My company installed some spam-filter a few months back. Ever since that, I noticed a huge jump in amount of spam mails I received every day. The company finally figured it out and took it offline but the damage is already done. Unlike my personally email accounts, it's almost not possible to change work email address. |

Don't the virus-scanning companies hire hackers to propagate viruses?
Cynical as it may be, a lot of companies (and governments) will stop at nothing to further their objectives. |

| This reminds me of Email Inspector
The absolute worst way to reach people who hate spammers
is to spam them with an anti-spam product or service. It
seems these guys are following the lead of Email Inspector.
IIRC, that one spammed the Stopping Spam forum here at
BBR a few months ago - they are still spamming people
elsewhere, judging by fresh postings in NANAS that come
up when doing a Google search in that group.

no, i am not kidding, paul vixie and mfn, above.net, dave rand, etc are net terrorists. i have had the displeasure of dealing with them personally, and vixie DOES work for »www.whitehat.com, he is nothing more than a hypocritical spammer.
i have been fighting against the 'tainted' bandwidth of above.net for years now, i wouldn't subject my customers to their fascist ways, EVER! |

| A "sort-of" Apology from spam arrest
On the spamarrest.com website they have put up a quasi-apology for sending "unsolicited bulk emails" to people. But then they go on to say:
"While this contact was completely covered by our privacy policy, our customers concerns come first."
The problem is that not everyone they emailed agreed or even saw their privacy policy. Plus people can't agree to a privacy policy for others. They are trying to cover their backsides but they screwed up big with this mailing. |
