Spammers: News on Carnegie Sun, Zhang Jun and associates
July 2004
No news is good news…
Actually, I would be very surprised if he wasn't still churning them out, but I've locked down Ackadia against Spam so I see very, very little, and nothing from him and his "associates"

Amazingly, to me, this got past the initial filters during an update…
The easyest way to find the right person is to look where they are at.
It's "easiest", hmmm.
The dating web site CREATED BY WOMEN
Yes, right, and they aren't really mail harvesting, noooo!

Rest as above.
NOTE: This the one appears to have had trojan attached. (W32.Netsky.P@mm) I suspect.
Subject: anydrug
Body begans (random text ?): Package yourself from where your are going instead of where you have been. …
Link was to ( www.boys555drugs.biz ) (His buddy: Upravlenije imenami Zamoras)
The same domain was also used for the regular Blind Date mail harvesting scams.

The most important detail about [ hottiesgalore.com ] - and a few others recently is this address in the message:

Seen that before a few times.
In the long run, just makes it easier to bury this lot when I bring it all together.

I see so much Spam from Zhang that I've ceased counting them. A dozen different domains a day, every day is normal. However, this one below from a mortgage scam perked me up, seeing as he claims a US address.
Incidentally, another from him had scores of cc:'s in the header!

Another, offering dodgy car insurance, was from Zhang [ auto-warranty-quotes.com ]
Created for the purpose, naturally … Creation Date: 05-feb-2004 - Registrar was Joker.com
Sender was shannamonterrosa@v-sexi.com
Of equal note was the senders address at the bottom of the Spam…
It appears Mr Carnegie has a new name and address to trade under…

Others from Zhang include:
rredd43.com (created: 05-feb-2004) (Registrar: BIZCN.COM, INC.) (jimmy@bizcn.com, abuse@bizcn.com)
edas53pha.com (ditto)
Another cames from one of UltimateEmail.com, Inc 's sites. I'm watching them beggers too!
A few more here like "From" [ igotanewjob.com ] are beginning to link them to Spammer [ UltimateEmail.com, Inc ]. The name fits the pattern too.

WooHoo! More dirt on Carnegie, compliments of Walt…
Paul -
Found the 'Carnegie Sun' spammer mentioned on your site. I also have been receiving a lot of that spammer's junk.
The 'mothership' for this spammer appears to be www.instantblinddate.com, at IP 64.39.19.154, hosted by rackspace.
Compare the graphics in any of the Carnegie Sun spams to the graphics at instantblinddate.com and you will see they are the same.
instantblinddate.com has an 'affiliate" program'; this could be a spamming affiliate, or instantblinddate.com themselves.
Regards,
Walt
I've been looking for something like this for a while. Given the sheer number of sites and Spam, there had to be a network of some sort in place. When I can find the equivalent for Zhang Jun we'll be another step closing to nailing this lot. Note the creation date. Obviously this scam has been going on for quite a long time.

I knew I'd link these two beggers sooner or later.
This means what exactly?
My by estimates up to 10% of *ALL* Spam is coming from this one person/company/group of 'affiliates'
i.e. I average 130 Spam a day at the minute - most days these account for 10-20 of them, perhaps more!

Mr Zhang is going through so many domains business must be really brisk. As those silly people answering Spam and encouraging them to continue. I'm undecided in the names mean something in Chinese or they are using you many they have a random generator creating them!
In future I'll just give the domain for him. This is in getting silly! And yes, that is over a dozen more I picked out of this mornings email…

As such, whilst again, I can't prove a direct link I personally believe these may be associated with or tied to Carnegie Sun and Co.
The question I - thus you - have to ask is this. Why, for the second time in days, is a domain of theirs used as the From in a Spam to me.
We have a Welsh company, hosted in Texas, using an Australian Registrar and hosting domains in Florida….
No-one else see that as strange? And that's just this one. I will be back tracking though the hundreds of other Spam I have for further ties.
If you are curious, the last one was from Taureans.com (again hosted in Florida), used in a mortgage Spam from Frank Downs (cybermediapro@excite.com), also of Florida.

'Registration details are obviously honest and reliable then', he says, sarcastically.
The site is real enough, and shepherds you towards a more adult domain [ extremexxxfootage.com ] offering (at the moment) videos of the Paris Hilton…
This is hosted in Beijing and registered by Tucows to:
PowerZest IT Ltd, 37b New Cavendish Street, London, W1G 8JR, UK.
Looking at the owners home domains ( powerzest.com, pzest.com ) takes you to an American seeming website…
USA Toll Free - 1-800-447-6439
As these things are measured, despite your moral views, it's a viable and rather lucrative business.

Here's domains 23 thru 26 used by Spammer Carnegie Sun and associates.
I'd reported a few of these before, but forgot to add them:
I suppose I should bandy words like "alleged", "seems to be" and "I believe" but come on…
He/they might use a score of addresses, registrars and domains all over the world, but all the end of the day, it's the same sticky fingerprints…
Incidentally, while the "Blind Date" Spam might look innocuous, and the "Intimate" ones might be acceptable to others, what do you say to the Viagra related ones - advertising for [ bunnd.com/vp5 ] )
Or maybe scores of other I miss due to filtering countless thousand Spam a month, or the fact even for the ones that get through/ are allowed through it's impossible to validate the addresses of everyone. I spend several hours a day just on this lot…
Added to this, I have evidence that links him/them to trojans…
Sooner or later they will make (another?) fatal mistake and I'll bury them!
If this lot are giving your email box a bad time, feel free to let me know, may be use Anti-Spam section of the new forum

Shows just how long this lot has been Spamming though, eh!
Incidently, address lookup fails for network5.net, but apparently the company did file for Chapter 11 in October 2003. Haven't the time to look into it. At the end, despite not trusting any Internet company from Florida, they were just the host ISP.
Around twenty two identical domains…
To be honest I'm losing count of the times I've reported this, but I, for one won't give up on this menace. Feel free to feel sending me information. When it goes to court, they don't have a leg to start on!

*Achoo*
As if I've not enough viruses in my mail, I've caught a cold. Blah!
I've few news items to go in and, when I get a minute, another two tutorials / How-to's…
One on how to avoid MS Outlook Express automatically previewing images - which can be tracked by Spammers (or just plain nasty!).
The other is how to tell if that message from your bank - like the 'Union Planters' scam I just reported - or Paypal (again, reported, as ever) is for real or some crook trying to empty your bank account. It will also tell you how to report this to the authorities.
If you have any requests or queries, feel free to ask by email or the new forum….
If you are a Spammer reading this, feel free to blame 'Carnegie' for what I will do to your lucrative lines. No really, spoofing my domain for your rubbish, not a good idea, hmmm. If you are lucky I'll get bored, shore up the filters and leave the world to stew in it's own mess. Y'all keep winding me up and I'll make you look back to the halcyon times of Spamcop, Spamhaus and dodging Microsoft lawyers with a tear in your eyes!

So, it's not just me!
Started getting emails from all over from other people who have been spammed, spoofed and sent viruses from this company. All adds to the list when it goes to court. Keep sending!
It is my belief that I - that we - can change the justice system such that ISP's and registrars - like Verizon and BulkRegistrar - can be held accountable for Spammers actions.
Not the spoofed stuff, not even hosting Spammers, as such, but if they are repeatedly, constantly ignoring complaints, or making motions and doing nothing about them, then they are sending a clear message to us that they couldn't care less as long as it doesn't affect their profits, and to Spammers that they are free to use their network (as long as they abuse other ISP's instead).
There is undeniable proof that this company is a bulk Spammer with no regard for the law, much less the targets of his Spam. As those I've complained to - scores of times - see fit to allow these Spammers to operate it is therefore my intention to prove 'guilt by association' and/or 'guilt by corporate neglect' and/or 'derelection of duty' on behalf of ISP's and Registrars allowing this to continue for so long.
Needless to say that as well as seeking recompense from the Spammer, I will also be looking for all costs and punitive damages to the full extent of the law from those knowingly providing him with network facilities.
I also hope to set a precedent in law with this action. Given the litigatious nature of America, and increasing the UK, such a ruling would make subsequent ISP's and registrars think twice before allowing Spammers to proliferate on their systems.
At the end of the day, I don't care about UBE, but I REALLY care about the endless stram of UBE *we* recieve and I will fight my corner will all the resources and tenacity I have. There's some 200 major Spammers in the world, almost every one of which abuses me and my family on a daily basis and the integrity of the Internet. I'm dragging the false positives out the bins, tired of editing filters, of reporting viruses and filth…
~ I will have my own Independance Day, when the world as one stands up and shouts: "We will not be Spammed."
Spammers can hide behind all the fake addresses and ghost systems they want, but rest assured, if it takes me a decade, I will destroy them one by one, and/or the networks and advertisers that feed them!

Note well the creation date of [ needtodate ] !
Despite overtures that they are doing all they can, despite knowing full well this company is a Spammer, BulkRegister are still selling them ever more domains…
What more needs to be said? Personally I'm inclined to stop adding them to the list of folk I report this spammer to, but instead I'll let them hang themselves with their own rope!
… sooner after reporting, China Telecom got back to me:
Your information was greatly appreciated! We've started tackling this problem, and what's more we solicit for your further concern. For any question, please feel free to contact us.
Many Thanks

At least someone thinks Spam is a nuisance!
To whom it may concern,
I think maybe we surprised the spammer that we stopped the website so quickly. It is about 1am when we saw the email, so maybe the spammer thought they could get at least 24 hours of spam from it?

And…
No problem, we also do not support spam. Our service TOS / AUP clearly says no spam. Of course, just today we started getting complaints for that website. Thus we move quickly to suspend the site to prevent further spam issues.
That the domains are still live after weeks of complaining to BulkRegisters is just wrong on so many levels, if you ask me.
Call me jaded and cynical, but given Verizons silence and BulkRegister claims to be investigating, yet they have taken no action, I have to ask myself why not!? Added to this, which gave me several double-takes, their emails of the 15th and 21st are identical.
Given that far smaller providers quickly take action, one or more of these are the only possible answers I can see, none of which I like…
One or both…
- … are incompetant in dealing with this.
- … don't care because the Spammer is not using up their bandwidth, seeing as it's spoofed.
- … are making too much money from this company, thus won't take action against it.
- … they are, in some way, linked to the Spammer.
- … they are this spammer!
As I say, these are merely the thoughts I am forced to think, rather that a statement of fact, but it makes you wonder, eh. I wonder if all the ISP's who's bandwidth has been stolen are happy with Verizons and Bulkregisters lack of action? Or those supplying Verizon for that matter. Perhaps I will ask them all…
The messages I am complaining about are clearly, undeniably illegal Spam, yet of the ten domains I have complained about, five remain live. It also has several links to an alleged mass Spammer*. Added to this, the site appears (to me at least) to purely be a new way of harvesting email addresses for the purpose of Spamming. At the end of the day, no matter now you cut it, they are the ones with the switch. Time to see what the world's press make of all this.
*"Microsoft alleges in another suit that Pittsburgh-based and its affiliates sent e-mails using "spoofed" domain names, such as msn.com and aol.com.
We are in the e-mail business, but no, we do not send spam,
responded Philip Adelberg, identified in the lawsuit as Interweb Hosting's president. He declined to comment further during a brief phone conversation yesterday afternoon, explaining that he had learned of the suit only 20 minutes earlier"
25th Jan - Given up playing softball!
[Δ]Note to Zentek. Thank you for taking the domain [ intimate-travel.com ] down so fast.
Note to ISP's, Registrars (and possible interested parties…)
To all it may concern:
This is AT LEAST the 25st UBE from this Spammer since January 20th when I decided I'd had enough.
It is also AT LEAST the 10th domain used in that time.
While Zentek quickly took down this Spammers when site, I am thoroughly disgusted to see that the other domains remain live.
As at 11.30pm GMT, 25th Jan 2004, these include:
lookingforasinglewomanorman.com
looknforlove.com
ahottieiswhatiwant.com
lookingforagooddate.com
loveblinddates.com
First thing Monday morning (26th January 2004) I will initiate legal action.
I will be looking for punitive damages for the continued and prolonged harassment by this Spammer, and any ISP and Registrars who have knowingly and willingly allowed this illegal campaign of abuse upon myself (and others) to continue.
I will also be approaching several trade and Anti-Spam websites and several national newspapers in the UK, Canada and America looking to publicise this scandal, which I am fully documenting.
Should I be able to successfully bring this to court in the States, and/or in my native Canada, I will also ask to be taken into consideration the fact the that since I began complaining about this Spammer I have been subjected to a short DoS attack, seen the average daily spam (getting past filters) rise 35% (from 80 to 107 and climbing) and I have been subjected to several emails bearing trojans - and claiming in the body to have come from my domain.
To myself, it seems clear that one or more of the people I have reported this to in the last few days has a vested interest in keeping this Spammer operating…

Darn me, this site's live again. Right!!!
I am interested in taking legal action against this spammer, and any ISP's and/or Registrars shown to be allowing this to illegal activity to continue. Please have someone contact me to discuss this further.
This Spammer appears to be the same company ( Interweb Hosting, LLC ) you took action again last year on behalf of Microsoft.
So far I have reported spoofed messages by this Spammer at least 25 times to the FTC, to Verizon, to BulkRegistar and all other parties involved. Sometimes they are being taken down, then they appear again. Time, I feel, to take a stand against Spammers and any who allow them to continue.
I am keeping a record of all this here: [ www.ackadia.com/computers/it-spam.php ] if you would like to see further information.
Thank you in advance.

This is all least the 19th Spam since January 20th when I decided I'd had enough.
This site is live and, it appears, he's back to hosting in China!
Seeing as he appears to be back in Canada, (if he ever left) he again falls under Canada's:
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Revised 1st Jan 2004)
… in that he has dishonestly obtained my email address and is using it to bombard me with spoofed UCE Spam. Plus of course, he forged my address for one sending.
I've added 'Web Junkie' Mark Stachiew, Content Producer for the Montreal section of canada.com to the list of possible interested parties.
What's interesting is last year, much to my disgust, I had to block Canada.com for a while due to the level of spoofed Spam coming from it. Perhaps what goes around comes around!

Giving him a last warning served to double the Spam sent from them, including delving into Chinese placebo's. Some people, it seems, have to learn the hard … sometimes when you push and push against a wall, it falls on back you. I am that wall!
Note to ISP's and possible interested parties…
This company, Interweb Hosting, LLC of Toronto, apparently running on Verizons network, strongly appears to either be a Spammer, or working for them. I believe Interweb Hosting, LLC is also the same volume Spammer named by Microsoft in a court action last year. Despite continually requests, nothing is being done, therefore I will be initiating legal action. I will be seeking $1,000 per incident, plus all expenses for each and every UCE I have to deal with via, initially, the small claims courts
This is Spam one of six I have so far recieved this morning! Rest to follow in order.

Further proof, if any was needed, that some ISP's and reputable* registrars at least will react as fast as they can to stop Spammers abusing there network.
*I know of at three 'registrars' that are Spammers, all of which I've formally reported to the FTC for investigation.
However, the Spam continues. Soooo….

Dear sirs…
OK, it goes like this, a Spammer spoofs his rubbish, the ISP, being made aware of the abuse, acts.
You will, of course, give me a good darn reason why, despite constant and repeated complaints and unrefutable evidence over recent weeks, their domain is still live, hmmm.
Did I mention I'm Canadian? That means, despite living in the UK, I'm probably still covered by the "Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act of 2000". In allowing this site to continue - advertised as it is through spoofed UBE (and to me, the domains apparent purpose is to harvest email addresses), you are in breach of this law.
If I find this domain (or another owned by the same company, or it's "affiliates" ) hosted and live by you in the morning and still Spamming me I will be forced to take legal action. I will be seeking $1,000 per incident, plus all expenses for each and every UCE I have to deal with via, initially, the small claims courts. If I have to escalate this to a test case in the higher courts, so be it, as I feel you are not taking this matter seriously at all!
I found these links of interest mind…

Also this related link is of interest

Seeing as they feel the need to blame me for their peddling, I feel the need to see their gang put out of operation!
These clowns are now using: [ bestwaytofindamate.com ]
The domain and the addresses they use might be different, but the body isn't. It's like the phoenix computer computers of the 90's. Startup, side the funds, then go 'bankrupt'. A week later, new name, new address, same advert. Like the publishing companies they still owned a fortune to for advertising didn't wise up fast. That's the thing about crooks, predictably lazy, to say the least. Anyway…

14th Jan 2004: Spoofed! Again!
[Δ]
On a more annoying note, someone has faked my domain as the sender for a Spam campaign, probably sent via infected systems.
If you get a message, apparently from 'bocenztfbeozfxo@ackadia.com' or similar gimmerish, don't blame me!
The subject line was Your Special Invite
With the message reading: "One of your Friends set you up on a date with another Friend."
… "A Dateing Site Created By Women" etc etc
Notice they can't even spell 'dating' correctly!
Different spammers have different signatures, one uses quotes from Mark Twain, another use tag codes. These use random strings like this:
brought their stories with them into captivity. wanderers, travellers, martha was puzzled and shook her head, thoughtfully. then she from the apple-tree, and circling round in the air, caught sight great store by it, and would never part with it to a stranger!
They have since (last day or so) replace this verbiage with a number string, but it makes no difference to me!
I have reported hundreds of Spam with the same content. The low lifes responsible are currently using "loveblinddates.com" as the domain.
Needless to say I will be looking out for this in future, only this time it's personal…
