Usually we see spam like this soliciting replies to throwaway free email addresses. In this case, 7-job-net.com is a domain that has been registered specifically for this scam, on 14th January 2010.

Registrant details show the infamous "Private person" moniker.

Aleksandr Lapatau
Email: lapatasker@earthling.net
Organization: Private person
Address: Lenina, 34, 8
City: Minsk
State: Minskaya
ZIP: 456123
Country: BY
Phone: +375.172427204

The email address is connected with at least one other scam.

Of interest is the fact that the domain is hosted on 193.104.94.57 in Russia along with the following sites:
  • Westitnet.net
  • Company-euro.com
  • Euro-company.net
  • Euro-shopping.net
  • Euro-webs.net
  • Good-nets.com
  • It-best-eur.net
  • It-financess.com
  • It-netx.com
  • Net-euros.com
All these sites have bogus looking registration details and are best avoided.

just got this in my email with a return address email the same as mine. This is disturbing since I have nothing to do with these spammers.

Donna M., fear not, they spoof the sender address as a matter of course.

I have been getting craploads of this same scam email today, another domain they use is wesst-netts.com . I have received pharma spam from that domain as well.

I just read through the BobBear post...that "site contact" submission was from me, on the 9th I believe. He does an awesome job of research, and produces a lot of information with an unpaid staff (if it's anyone else but BobBear).

Now, if he could just make that site a little easier on the eyes it would be perfect. I know, I know, nit-picking, but it would help get his message across if it were easier to navigate, like the 'moo's.

New domain these scumbags are spewing at me today (about 20 times): people-and-job.net
