    Hi i got this also

    The thing is that there is prob' a true MLM crap program in their original website which is contacthem.com

    some affiliate smart ass bought all contactthem.* domains

    and started scanning website grabbing their alexa and PR and emails
    (pretty easy to get this done in no time)

    then for each site he pasted a different "affiliate link" in the url of the fake site

    i bet this is for confirming the mass mailer that the owner view the email and the mass mailer got to a working email and he saw this email!

    whoops another spam real email confirm + maybe that fake websites affiliates can earn money.

    nice trick.

    but its prob' crap anyway.

    good day.

    I should start off by saying that I have an idea, but you shouldn't do it... -- because it is not right to sign somebody else up for emailings, but.... (there are proxy servers and other ways to not get in trouble for it) everybody can make up their own minds on this one.

    ... so -- my idea is to CONTACT them....

    I mean, everywhere you see an application for a newsletter or loan application or info on some performance enhancing drugs (not like the baseball players) --- maybe you accidentally typed in their email address. Don't just stop there -- subscribe under every "contactthem.*" email address that you can.

    Wouldn't that be a nice way to shut these kinds of spammers down, eh?

    They'd be sorting through their 1,000+ emails a day thinking why are so many people SPAMMING me? I'd say that it is just karma - and these people are doing just what you did -- just CONTACTing you.

    Hi Guys,

    I received a similar email and did a little digging on the owner: Stephan Ducharme. googling Stephan Ducharme scam returned red flag.

    If only that Stephan guy was descent or that his name has not that many negative feedbacks, I can see that this program has potential. The software alone is powerful.
