The spam leads you to a side called autoaxident.com on 174.122.93.250 which appears to belong to Confluence Networks in the UAE. The WHOIS details are privacy protected (never a good sign for this type of site). Nameservers show an Indian connection, they are dns1.bigrock.in and dns2.bigrock.in. The spam is sent through a relay service at 74.117.60.126 (lbsmtp.org, India).

The website has no contact details or privacy policy, it is basically just a collector. However, sending a query does generate a response..

Dear Mr. Xxxx Xxxx

Thanks for sending us your message.

Please send your contact phone number and address.

Also if you have time please fill up form available at www.autoaxident.com and press continue button instead of submit to get the full claim form to be filled.

Upon receipt of your phone number solicitor Mr. Lamb Brook will contact you for compensation for your injury

Website - www.autoaxident.com 

The originating IP was 14.98.247.162 (TATA Indicom, India), so there's the Indian connection again.

Several things don't stand up with this pitch. One of them is the solicitor's name of "Mr. Lamb Brook". That's quite an unusual name, and it probably comes as no surprise to find that there is no such solicitor listed by the Law Society in the UK. Oddly, the telephone number quoted seems potentially valid and is a London number. Update: the name of the law firm is Lamb Brooks and not an individual solicitor, note however that Lamb Brooks are not sending out this unsolicited mail, I suspect that they are not even aware of it.

The email address of "Annie Thomas" alaska05@rediffmail.com also gives some clues. rediffmail.com is almost exclusively used in India, thus confirming that this is an Indian-based scam again, Googling this email address shows several clues with a background of buying and selling leads.

This thread ties the email address up with a user called lalchand38 and this is linked to a Twitter account at https://twitter.com/LCS38 (Lalchand / @LCS38) who appears to be Lalchand Sobhani who also uses an email address of lalchand38@yahoo.com. You can see his dating profile here and there are several other matches on Google for the same email address which show an interesting variety of enterprises including shipping prescription medications from India to the US.

So Annie Thomas is either Lalchand Sobhani or someone working for him. The solicitor in the UK does not exist. Mr Sobhani has gone to some efforts to hide his involvement here too.

What is probably going on here is lead generation through spam. Lalchand Sobhani is probably trying to generate personal injury leads to resell on to others. In any case, dealing with spammers is unlikely to be beneficial and it could lead to you being seriously out of pocket.

yg-network.org / Keyya Ltd domain scam

This is part of a domain scam that has been going on for years..

Dear Manager,

(If you are not the person who is in charge of this, please forward this to your CEO,Thanks)

This email is from China domain name registration center, which mainly deal with the domain name registration and dispute internationally in China and Asia.
On July 30th 2012, We received Keyya Ltd's application that they are registering the name "[redacted]" as their Internet Keyword and "[redacted].cn "、"[redacted].com.cn " 、"[redacted].asia "domain names etc.., they are China and ASIA domain names. But after auditing we found the brand name been used by your company. As the domain name registrar in China, it is our duty to notice you, so we are sending you this email to check. According to the principle in China, your company is the owner of the trademark, In our auditing time we can keep the domain names safe for you firstly, but our audit period is limited, if you object the third party application these domain names and need to protect the brand in china and Asia by yourself, please let the responsible officer contact us as soon as possible. Thank you!

Best Regards,

Angela Zhang

Office:  +86 0553 4994789
Fax:     +86 0553 4994789
web:  www.yg-network.org

Basically the idea is to panic you into buying worthless domains from a dodgy Chinese registrar. Of course, there is no company actually trying to register these domains.. and even if there was there is no responsibility for the registrar to check trademark ownership (except in a tiny handful of cases such as sunrise registrations).

What's more.. I already own the .asia version of this domain name, so it is impossible that someone else is trying to register it.

So, this one is definitely a scam. Stay away.

"Reset Your LinkedIn Password" spam / mysqlfordummys.ru

xinthesidersdown.com injection attack in progress

There is currently an injection attack using a script pointing to [donotclick]xinthesidersdown.com/sl.php  doing the rounds. The malicious code is hosted on 194.28.115.150, the same IP address as used in this attack yesterday.

Something evil on 194.28.115.150 and lasimp04risoned.rr.nu

The following domains appear to be part of an ongoing injection attack (using lasimp04risoned.rr.nu at present). They are hosted by black-hat web host Specialist ISP in Transnistria. Block the IP range of 194.28.112.0 - 194.28.115.255 (194.28.112.0/22) is a very good idea as this is one of the worst netblocks I know of.

"Hi, we think you may be entitled to compensation.." SMS spam

The PPI claim spammers are back again, this time using the throwaway number of +447969662555

Hi, we think you may be entitled to compensation of up to £3500 from missold PPI on a credit card or loan.
Reply PPI for more info
Reply STOP to opt out

Obviously they think nothing of the sort and are just randomly spamming, even to mobile phone numbers registered with TPS. Given that their pitch is based on a lie, it's likely that the whole outfit it some sort of scam in any case.

If you get one of these, you should forward the spam and the sender's number to your carrier. In the came of T-Mobile, O2 and Orange the number to report to is 7726 ("SPAM"). Vodafone customers should use 87726 ("VSPAM") and Three customers should use 37726 ("3SPAM"). Hopefully the carriers will act if there are enough complaints.

Facebook "Error message [404] 404 Not Found" email messages

This one has me scratching my head.. a series of emails this morning with subjects similar to the following:

Error message [404] 404 Not Found for m.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.[redacted].8100.100000762125833
Error message [404] 404 Not Found for m.facebook.com/pokes/?refid=7
Error message [404] 404 Not Found for m.facebook.com/home.php?sk=photodash

The emails appear to originate from a Yahoo! IP address, the sender's email address matches a registered Facebook account and in one case the URL in the subject links to a gallery from the same user. But I don't know who these people are, and the email address sent to is a rarely used one that has NEVER been used for Facebook.

In most cases the email is blank, in one case there is a photograph of a BlackBerry, apparently taken yesterday from a Samsung GT-C6625 (an oldish Windows Mobile device). The IP headers indicate that this is maybe coming through a mobile version of Yahoo! mail. An infected mobile phone perhaps?

It's all kind of odd, perhaps it is the precursor to something else?
