.us scumbag spammers strike again

This low-life scumbag spammers are the same people I wrote about here and are playing around in the scummy end of the affiliate marketing business.

The spamvertised domains are:

readcriminalsearch.us
pluscarsearch.us
bumpcredit.us
expectlowmortgage.us
citizensmedicare.us
closedfoodstorage.us


All of these are registered with fake WHOIS details:

Registrant ID:                               28B5829EB467EADA
Registrant Name:                             Colleen Fenn
Registrant Organization:                     na
Registrant Address1:                         2555 W Lawrence Ave
Registrant City:                             Chicago
Registrant State/Province:                   IL
Registrant Postal Code:                      60625
Registrant Country:                          United States
Registrant Country Code:                     US
Registrant Phone Number:                     +1.7739070654
Registrant Email:                            colleenfennf342@yahoo.com
Registrant Application Purpose:              P1
Registrant Nexus Category:                   C11


Originating IPs for email are:

109.201.135.21
109.201.135.35
109.201.135.47
109.201.135.108
109.201.148.11
109.201.148.24

All of these IPs are in the same 109.201.128.0/19 block allocated to:

organisation:   ORG-NE3-RIPE
org-name:       NForce Entertainment B.V.
org-type:       LIR
address:        NFOrce Entertainment BV
address:        Postbus 1142
address:        4700BC
address:        Roosendaal
address:        NETHERLANDS
phone:          +31206919299
fax-no:         +31206919409
abuse-mailbox:  abuse@nforce.com
admin-c:        PT3315-RIPE
admin-c:        JH24522-RIPE
admin-c:        NFAR
tech-c:         NFTR
mnt-ref:        MNT-NFORCE
mnt-ref:        RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT
mnt-ref:        MNT-NFORCE
mnt-by:         RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT
abuse-c:        NFAB
source:         RIPE # Filtered


You might want to block the /24s or even the whole /19 belonging to these people. Up to you.

UPDATE:  a second wave of spam has started from 77.93.204.105 in the Czech Republic:

organisation:   ORG-EA808-RIPE
org-name:       Exmasters.com
org-type:       OTHER
address:        Exmasters.com
address:        Milos Kalerta
address:        Fricova 1102,26301 Dobris,Czech Republic
phone:          +420 603 114414
abuse-mailbox:  abuse@exmasters.com
mnt-ref:        MASTER-MNT
mnt-ref:        MASTER-MNT
mnt-by:         MASTER-MNT
admin-c:        EC6938-RIPE
tech-c:         EC6938-RIPE
abuse-c:        EC6938-RIPE
source:         RIPE # Filtered


The spamvertised sites themselves are parked on 98.124.199.1 and  98.124.198.1 (eNom). There are several hundred thousand sites parked on these servers, blocking those IPs might have unexpected consequences.

The spam emails generated do not identify the true sender, and given that the email list they are using was originally generated from a forced UNSUBSCRIBE link then I would bet that trying to unsubscribe will just lead to more spam.

Here are some examples:

When you follow the clickthroughs you can see the the victim is being bounced around what in my opinion look like several very low quality ad networks.

How do I blacklist the entire block?

I tried:

206.190.137.* REJECT
109.201.148.* REJECT
77.93.204.* REJECT

@Bob: well, they've moved on to:
217.23.14.153
217.23.14.13

..they have a LOT of resources but seem to be burning them quite quickly.

So how do I block these douche bags?
