Adscholr Optin Spam

[aibob]

I have no idea what site I signed up to receive an optin from AdScholar, but they say I did. However, in the e-mail they sent it was a paragraph advertisement and nothing more. When I tried to remove myself there was an error so I couldn't remove myself. Also the reply to e-mail address does not work.

URL To remove your e-mail: http://www.adscholaroptin.com/cleanlist

Reply-To: From :
"AdScholar Optin" <adscholaroptin@bin.com>
(Adscholar doesn't even own the bin.com domain. I think they chose that domain to refer to trash bin.)

Webmasters and advertisers using beware of this company.

The person who registered the domain http://www.adscholaroptin.com doesnt even know how to spell their own city. (Milwaukee)

All the contact info points to their offices in California except for the actual city and state it is registered under.

Sorry to drag this out of the dusty basement, but I just received one of these too

Go to that remove URL that Jan posted and click submit (leave the box blank or just type in garbage) it doesn't error but I goes to
http://www80.nortelnetworks.com/?ULogin=hhhg

Now that's some fishy stuff. I'm adding this domain to the banned list for my e-mail users. None is coming in now. ;-)

I don't as a rule go to any remove URLs as it is probably going to collect my address for another round of spam. Some I will, if they really look authentic, but this remove address had jdavis*** ID.

Mr Spamcop will take care of it for me
