SPAM/UCE from 'Embest company'

SPAM/UCE from 'Embest company'

2005-08-18 by Rod Moffitt

This group has been spammed by the infamous 'Embest company' before so 
it's no supprise that they are now sending direct email to people without 
permission. From the address they sent to, is appears they harvested it 
from this (or another) group's mailing list, so this is a warning to 
others about this dumb ass company.

Not only did 'Embest company' send unsolicitated commercial email they 
attempted to forge their SMTP hostname as 'dell.com', and sent the email 
address from a forged email address 'amzpqgirvx@...' and used a 
'reply to' from another company (possibly forged) 
'qgigoguxbj@...'. These are all attempts to thwart email 
blacklists, so it is obvious they are deliberately trying to evade 
anti-SPAM techniques.

I have complained to my ISP, who have informed me they have sent a formal 
complaint to the apparent ISP of the sender of this email ('CHINANET 
Guangdong province network'), plus I am forwarding their emails and IPs to 
all blacklists and anti-SPAM sites. So listen up 'Embest company', you, or 
your SPAM relay(s) are going to be shutdown, and your stupid ass marketing 
schemes will get you nowhere.

The header of the SPAM email was 'Embest Newsletter' for your info (I will 
forward it as a zip'd attachment to anyone who wants to peruse it).
