The link in the email goes to lormaneducation.net and then forwards immediately to lorman.com, which is a typical technique that spammers use to try to avoid getting blacklisted.

lormaneducation.net is hosted on 64.77.120.67 (Peer 1, US) along with these following domains which look similarly spammy:

askthefaculty.com
hospitalityandtourismtraining.com
hospitalityandtourismtraining.net
instituteofpropertymanagement.com
instituteofpropertymanagement.net
insurancetrainingresource.com
insurancetrainingresource.net

The WHOIS details on the lormaneducation.net spamvertised domain are:

    Admin Name: Webmaster
    Admin Organization: Lorman Education Group, Inc.
    Admin Street: PO Box 509
    Admin City: Eau Claire
    Admin State/Province: WI
    Admin Postal Code: 54702-0509

Spam originates from 184.175.164.1 (US Signal) in a range suballocated to Lorman that you might want to block traffic from of 184.175.164.0/26.

If this company thinks that promoting its seminars through spam is a legitimate way of promoting a business then I would personally give their "seminars" a very wide berth.

Before you consider taking down this post at Loman's request, you should know that this comment by Ben Halverson is total BS.

They still spam people without asking, and they still don't have a removal link in their emails. I received something like 2 emails a day for two weeks, as recently as this month.

FYI, Still spamming, using a different email domain each time. Thank you for posting the list of domains.

For Mr. Halverson: If you didn't want to "offend users like this" then why do you have so many domains?

I started receiving spam emails from this group about two weeks ago. I do not know how they got my email address. Sometimes I get 4-5 emails a day. It is VERY annoying.

psyence said...

they are stil spamming me on my work email. it is September 2016.

Carl said...

They are still spamming as of December 2016. In July 2016, they obtained my business email somehow and have been spamming it 3-11 times a month, sometimes several times a day.

Just received SIX emails and some earlier today using various email names @mydomain. My Catchall email catches all of them. Also, their unsubscribe DOES NOT WORK! I keep spamming and they keep coming. My webhosting company is not filtering them by THEIR domain, which the should.

Thomas said...

Yeah, it's ridiculous. In no way are they trying to do anything to stop this. I keep getting spam from them and adding domains to my sender reject list. Who wants to chip in with me to rent a bot-net to DDoS these asswipes? :)

They spam me all the time. I'm plugging away blocking their addresses one by one, but it's a pain.

Mark Humbert said...

They are continuing with their spamming.

Mr.C said...

they started hitting my works email with spam now too so i cannot do much but delete it. I am going to start broadcasting their various emails on public sites so the spam bots pick them up.
