Just a thumbs up about a company from India who are spamming (or trying to spam) paid review directories with no intention of paying but probably telling clients they are. The company is www.manualdirectorysubmission.in The e-mail they use is or The IP to block is 65.55.175.190 They are not from India, or at least they are not submitting from there, they are submitting from Orlando in Florida. Just thought I'd name and shame as we have warned these idiots on more than one occasion. Why they bother beats me, most good directories have systems in place to prevent spammers and won't review the trash submitted by these fools anyway. Warning to the company... Catch you at it again and you will be reported to your hosts and ISP. Don't even bother going through proxies as they clearly aren't working in your case.
Poor one's Mikey, I don't want to post them here because it would be giving the submitted sites free airtime which is probably just what these idiots want. Save to say they were MFA type rubbish.
Same here Jamie i have been having this problem for last 4/5 weeks on one of my phpLD 3.1 directories. My tormentor wants me to list one Vi....a/C......is sites for free. As I refuse - he constantly bombards me with free pages from forum memberlist/this or that. I tried to block him by IP, bot they are using proxy. So I am banning all the Domains he is using. Since then - the flow has decreased. Below are some URLs - this sco....el has been using. http://www.pxcomp.org/user/view.php?id=101&course=1 http://www.pxcomp.org/user/view.php?id=101&course=1 [URL=http://www.pxcomp.org/user/view.php?id=101&course=1]Forex: USA dollar collapse[/URL] Code (markup):
You should be able to stop them getting through? What software you using as most scripts cater for this these days.
Oh !, thanks for the info. I think that they are using some black hat spamming tool that randomizes hits with anonymous proxies.
The IP I gave was contained in the header of the e-mail that bounced, this should include the IP of the senders computer and ISP.
They use Shahrukh Khan's (famous Indian actor) photo on their main page. I am sure they don't have the right to use that photo either. They are not offering their services for throw-away prices either. They are giving bad name to directory submitters from India. I guess the only way to block the bot is to put a captcha on the directories.
