Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525)

I'm starting a new thread on this topic as the old threads have accumulated hundreds of comments and are a but unwieldy.  For reference, the old threads follow:

I promised a post about my adventures resulting from Soloway's organization filing a complaint against me with Network Solutions (my registrar); I'll try to get to it this week.

As someone who works for a non-profit charity, I tend to think that all adverts and promos via the web or email from a charity as outreach are; corporate. Duh!? Wrapping himself in the flag of innocence and purity is a blatent move to sugar coat his motives and solicite sympathy from readers.

I read your blog regularly,
most of it is over my head so I look for amusing tidbits and occasionally find somehting that makes me laugh out loud; nothing as exciting as a death threat has ever caught my attention.

Sonya the charity sector wishes to do nothing about him - I have id and emailed the charities he 'helped' asking them for comments on the association. I recieved none back.

As a long term watcher of Bob the ignorance of others is no defence - while you in the non profit sector may 'laugh' at them (how charitable) you fail to distance yourself from him, which you could easily redeem do if you wrote about the danger on your websites.

But i don't like charities anyhow, perhaps when i see 'no association spam or with Soloway mssages' on non profit websites then my heart will melt.

Dont laugh - because im laughing at you Sonya and your 'non profit' stupid bosses.

John Schmitt's address listed is actually a hotel called OAK TREE INN YERMO.

And thanks for the song reference... now I can't get that dang tune out of my head!

I got an actual personal email from Soloway. The address was of course forged but here's the IP info:

Received: from na-250-64.na.avantel.net.mx (148.245.250.64)
From: "Cook, Emil" <charityinfo@coolgoose.com>

Interesting - the IP address from Mexico matches some of the spams for pills and stock tips. Hey Soloway, do you use ttnet.net.tr as well?

# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/1/2006 9:09 AM Bananas in the Falklands

Talk to Mr Schmitt at the Oak Tree inn Phone number: 760-254-1148

Send your wishes.


# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/1/2006 1:18 PM RR

Haw haw. I called the Oak Tree Inn and verified that he is using their address. Of course they were clueless and totally confused about what I was talking about.

I also called Network Solutions in my initial attempt to have his registration information verified. They said he was registered through a partnership with Sun Network INC. The contact info they gave me was: info@sunutility.com.

Of course if you visit sunutility.com, you'll see that it is not a domain registration site.

I'm new to this, but I finally ran his spam through spamcop and also reported the domain to internic. We'll see if that does anything useful.

I'm looking forward to a call back from the Manager at the Oak Tree Inn. This was the first that they heard that their address is being used by broadcastemailcorporation.org. I wonder if they'll be interested in this form of identity theft... if one can call it that.

sky... when you say you got an email from him... did you email JohnSchmitt2000@hotmail.com or some other address?

That is the one that I pulled up when I ran the whois search, though I notice it's not listed in the above report.

-RR

# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/2/2006 4:46 PM JustThinking

You know, I've been thinking about how to address this problem.

As this slug has broken the law on several fronts but it seems the authorities are a little slow in the up-take, I think they could use a little persuassion.

It seems to me the positions of Govenor, Attorney General, Senator, etc... are elected positions. To an official up for election nothing speaks louder than "MONEY". Instead of putting our valuable time into stopping him maybe we should just put a pot of money together.

Then we could go the, say the AG, especially if he were up for re-election and say "You know, Our Anti-spam group would love to support your re-election efforts, if only you could be a little harder on spammers."

If there is interest in this I'll be a lead.

# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/2/2006 4:48 PM JustThinking

By "being tougher on spam" I don't mean fining them, I mean imprisoning them - for a long-long time.

Whenever you call anyone that Soloway is forging. be sure to tell them exactly WHO the criminal is that is responsible and his real address and phone number.

I just got another spam today from Soloway... www.thebroadcastemailcorporation.com is the latest site. And let's see: I have documented that on 04/07/2006, and with legal witness, that I requested that email address be removed from his list.

Great job on killing the broadcastemailcorporation.org site - that was quick! If Network Solutions doesn't pull the account by Monday I'll file abother complaint with the BBB. That sure makes them act quick!

# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/4/2006 6:34 AM ScamBaiter

broadcastemailcorporation.org was up for over 2 weeks.. i wouldn't call that quick... it shouldn't take more than 24 hours to kill a domain...

and he has another 5 domains that are still up as we speak which load his site right up... and probably another 100 waiting in backup that we don't know about..

it's not like he doesn't aniticipate this or something.. he's prolly laughing his ass off that the only thing you guys can do is take his domains down... which have prolly been happening for a decade now all while making a fortune... for every domain that goes down another 5 pop up...

while i'm with you guys on getting this jerk.. it seems like your tactics are doing nothing to him.. and nothing to him fast...

It's a bit like Mcdonalds reputation - Bob's time will come.

# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/4/2006 12:58 PM me again

Anyone who uses a known spam king to advertise are committing crimes themselves. A quick Google of "Newport Internet Marketing" shows who they are dealing with.

If you had a business that had to change it's location and name every week or two, do think that you would be doing a very good business and what kind of message do you think it sends to any potential customers? Would you spend money at a store that is constantly getting closed for illegal and improper activities?

Fighting against spammers is working! Check out what was in today's paper: http://www.khou.com/news/state/stories/khou060604_ac_spammer.52c455e0.html

Soloway is clearly hurting and he's getting more and more sloppy. Why else would he be making so many stupid mistakes that can easily be traced back to him? This effort may seem grassroots but I can see that it's truly bringing justice.

# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/4/2006 1:20 PM JustThinking

It's clearly doing something. It probably is making his life harder BUT, he is still making money and is still free!

So long as the cost of doing "business" his way is less than the profit he will continue.

That is why I still say we get an organization to collect money & buy a politician! It's the only way to get them to move quickly. I don't know about in Seattle but here in St Louis even the local Prosecuting Attorneys are elected. Surely someone can be enticed into doing the right thing - hell they're enticed into doing the wrong things all the time.

There is probably an organization out there that would be perfect for the lead in this already. Maybe ROSKO? I don't know - I just know there are faster ways of getting to check mate than this.

# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/4/2006 5:49 PM Ace - JustThinking

I would be willing to give an organization like ROKSO or SPAMHAUS money to lead this, as long as it was directed at JERKY BOY BOOBIE. I wonder how much political pull those organizations have?

Heck the guy that hosts this blog works for Microsoft. They were a target of Soloway's spam till he figured that would fry him in the end.

Would good ol Bill be willing to go after him if we break our penny jars? And when I say go after him, I mean with a vengeance. All of the crimes and forgery/fraud he committed against all of us...

Might be better just to get a good attorney in Seattle.

# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/4/2006 10:08 PM sky

Latest generic email prefixes Soloway is using in his spam attacks:

accounting@<your domain name>

administrator@
orders@
postmaster@
mail@
root@

+ whatever email address you used on your domain WHOIS

If you use any of those common email addresses, then you will more than likely get dumped on with piles of his junk.

# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/5/2006 7:25 AM AI

Well, he's back again with http://www.thebroadcastemailcorporation.com

I had been tracking this down thinking it was John Schmitt from the whois db. I found the telephone number got cut off a day or two after I tried phoning it through the night :-D(I'm in the UK).

I too have been fed up with the continual mail even after unsubscribing. I shall continue to keep tracks on this guy wherever he pops up.

One idea I had a week or two back was a script that launches a concerted attack on anyone registering addresses for this idiot and others by taking the whois information.

If the admin and other contacts for the registrar gets bombarded with replies to all the spammed mail they will soon consider not registering domains for people like him. Course this defeats the object of diminishing the number of mails floating around the net but surely domain registration should be controlled more and this may begin to put pressure where it's needed. I.E. ISP's and registrars.

Still, you're never going to get rid of wastes of life such as him. Then again, you're allowed guns in the US, why don't you use one on him? (Hmm, am I a terrorist now for writing this?)

Just another quick update sorry if it's been mentioned in the saga. In attempting to track more information about the sad man I noticed that he's advertising The Broadcast Email Corporation as being a trade name of Newport Corporation in California. As he's obvioulsy nothing to do with them, I've asked their webmaster if he's happy with the association. Perhaps a large company can get him for using their name on his website terms and conditions.

http://www.thebroadcastemailcorporation.com/termsofuse-inline.html - look at the bottom of page.

In the olden days, phreakers and the like in the UK were barred by telecom operators from ever holding a telephone line due to their abuse of the system. How about some similar legislation for ISP's now?

At the end of the day, the 'net is like the old 'wild West' at the moment. Not many lawmen and a lot of space to cover. Regulators will eventually pin down these gaps but it will take time.

Till then FOADH dear Bob.

<Scambaiter> "Are you trying to say we are all birds of a feather and shit together as well?"

If the hat fits ......

Judging by the tone of this and your previous posts, I would say you`re "prolly" one of "them", rather than one of "us". Where's these so called "5" domains that are still up ?
If you were "with" us, then you would have posted the details - and then some... !!
Hey, you might even be Solowank himself, or at least a croney /sympathiser.
Post some incrimitaing Booby info, and maybe you`ll get believed !

At the very least, you`re prolly just a simple troll, or connected with one of the real morons:-

<Scambaiter>
Did you know that several people agree with you throughout this long-long blog ?

Eric Richards, Sumtra, wittenwonder, JAson Collins, pete, Jason, crazydawg et al !
In fact, some of them almost word for word.

Most are "drive by" - Telling "us" (tinu) we are wasting our time - and to move on etc.
Not one of them mentions any useful info about Solowank. (Unlike the rest of "us"). Coincidence ? - If I was a cynic, I`d say that they might all be connected, but I`m not, so I wont :-)

I think that domain name was actually a Bobelzibub made-up example that he has used on his sites for years.
Looks like someone -borrowed- and registered it last week, hoping to get traffic based on Booby's notoriety.

OK,
There seems to be some interest in contributing to end this problem. Again, I think it best, for lack of a better way to describe it, to "buy a politician".

I can contact ROKSO and SPAMHAUS with the idea of heading this up.

After all, out pennies are just pennies but together they can be a significant # of $$. Also, given the cost of spam to ISPs and other web-related organizations there should be a substantial contributor base if the effort is well-organized.

Am I wrong?

I will be happy to create the zip. However I am sure there are many of you more capable than I am.

As I mentioned I'll be keeping an eye on this as one of my domains is still being spammed by Soloway after repeated unsubscriptions. I wasn't going to post until I got a response but as I've had another spam, here you are.

The latest line I thought someone could look into is this claim that he's not a US citizen in the message purporting to be from him relating to the MS case against him.

I've sent a message to the US DHS asking if they are issuing a green card or if he truly is not an American citizen. I'm not sure if they will issue this information to an alien. Maybe enough complaints from US citizens would get some result.

Also not being sure about your freedom of information laws means I don't know what you could find out as a US citizen. If you can find out where he's from perhaps you could post him back in a brown paper envelope. Third class of course!

# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/11/2006 12:22 AM me still

He's a US citizen. He owns a corporation that was formed in Washingon State. His family is from Washington state and he is careful to list any property under his other family member's name. His cars have WA plates and he also lists an address which he thinks is outside the US but it's actually one of the US territories.

I also own my own domain and get crap about thebroadcastspamservice etc etc. I've tried removing my domain at their site to no avail. I then left a legally threatening "reason" for removal the second time (to no avail) and just left a loud and angry message on their voicemail. I found it odd that when I looked up who owned the site (thebroadcastemailcorporation.com) it asked me if I would like to register it as nobody owned it at the moment (as of 30 minutes ago).
I've always wanted to visit his reported neck of the woods. Do you think an old-fashioned ass kicking with a clue-by-four would bring him around to our way of thinking?

So, still going, just the one more for now. Have filed a BBB complaint and one with Network Solutions.

The question is, if Soloway can get away with advertising his commercial enterprises by advertising a charity offer surely that is the way to go. If all companies follow this method (i.e. offer something for free that costs you nothing to offer) then we could ensure that the internet fills with so much mail that we'd no longer see Soloway's mails amongst the millions in our inboxes.

Surely this is a loophole in the law that could be closed? Spamming people to advertise a commercial practice by pretending to do charity work is exactly the same as spamming your own services directly. The link in the mail doesn't even go to the charity offer, instead to the front page of a commercial website.

I can see my next mailshot now. "I will sing a song for free for every charity responding to my web form on one page of my website that contains 1000 other pages offering commercial goods. This offer is only for charity so please don't go to the link I'm advertising if you are not a charity, I wouldn't want to make money from you!" Are the laws really that stupid - don't answer that!

thebroadcastemailcorporation.com works fine for me. Your DNS must not be working.. the damn domain has been up for 2 weeks now.

Is there anything really we can do? This guy obviously has enough resources and contacts to keep doing this for years.

And with his "charity" emails, he isn't breaking can-spam since the "primary purpose isn't commercial in nature".

So can-spam doesn't even apply. This guy obviously knows what he has been doing and is probably laughing at us all right now..

Surely there must be something that can be done. How long has he been doing this?

# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/16/2006 6:17 AM Bananas in the Falklands

If we have to make Bob move every month even in China were doing something right

As to refining his process I disagree - the fake names/addresses (seen before John Schmitt) would seem to indicate that even the Chinese registrar .cn is wary of him - hence his movement back to .com.

We all know what a bob soloway website looks like too and he keeps sending those emails, so the next time you hear a Chinese communist say spam is 'unhealthy' and there going to have a crackdown you know better - by continually hosting Bob China really loves spammers.

Anyone want to place bets on a new domain coming right up a second after it does go down?

I think it's time to come to terms with.. yes we fought hard.. but we lost. The damn spammers now account for 85% of email sent out, more than any ever before according to a recent article I just read!

The spammers won.. there's so much crap going on in the world right now and in 4 years the government has yet to convict a single individual under can-spam.

While yes we can all wish and pray it would happen, I think the reality of it is, we know there is too much out there the damn government is dealing with to care about a bunch of emails.

# re: Robert Soloway and SPAMIS: New Thread (20060525) 6/26/2006 5:57 AM AI

Hey all, Been kiteboarding and working 'up North' on a big email system in the UK.

Thanks for the welcome Bananas 'tis a bit of fun watching the powers that be do little in response to these little problems.

So saying, yars the DNS was playing up and when back home thebroadcast..... was still there. Have posted a follow up complaint to NS as I had no response to that nor the BBB yet. As of yesterday, still getting them. None from HOC8.COM.

As for giving up, governments will always lag behind in looking after laws and have to be prodded to keep them going. Spammers 'waste life' by making us sort and delete their mail. If this were comparable to a phone message and you received 30 voice mails in a day with only 1 relevant to you how much of your life is wasted checking them all? If that message were informing you of something important to your life and you miss it because of the others clogging up your inbox then it has again affected your life. SenderID or another method of stopping messages being 'dropped' into the net without a true provenance or traceable route is the only way to go. Is there any reason that we don't want to know where a message has come from? I'd rather have an extra load on the size of a message sent than an increasing number of spams per day.

thebroadcastemailcorporation.com is up and running. Got an email from myself today and the site is operational.
So, I called and spoke with the fine people at the Oak Tree Inn and actually spoke with their IT department about the fact that their address is listed as the owner.
I think I convinced them to at least report that fact as incorrect and maybe even get some type of law enforement involved. They seemed to be very nice about it and appreciated the info.
With my limited knowledge, it's about the best I can do....

This pus filled boil recently was forging headers with one of our domains to victimize people. He chose poorly.

Called this morning and mentioned that this was a serious error on his part.

As of tonight his site thebroadcastemailcorporation.com is gone.

There are individuals in this world who can be clinically diagnosed with 'Anti-Social Personality Disorder.'

This means they do not have the ability to distinguish the boundries in what constitutes acceptable 'moral' behavior within the societies into which they are born.

They have no ability to empathize with fellow human beings, which is to say that this is what allows them to do injurious things to people, that other 'normal' (healthily balanced) civilized human beings would never act on.

The only response to such continual and fixated pursuit of such damaging serial anti-social behavior can be one of containment.

There appear to be some excellent bloodhounds on this cur's trail, but, containment is ultimately going to be the only answer in the long run.

So thank you for my first mail of the day if you're tracking where you send the individual ones you'll know it's me and here I come :-D

Newport Email Broadcasting Corporation huh? Please Bananas and all, track the registration of this corporation that advertises as being around for 10 years. D'you have advertising standards authorities in the US that stop people making false statements? Bit messy Bob, your redesign of the website left The IE page header as NIMC: The Broadcast Email Corporation. Thought you knew what you were doing - getting sloppy?

So, nslookup on emarketingcorp.cn = 218.30.100.92 - bjnic@bjtelecom.net
might want to know at China/Beijing Telecom
Same on www.emarketingcorp.cn = 202.167.234.202 - abuse@telus.com would probably like to know about their address being used by him for the website. Good place to get him shut down if in the US...

Didn't get the source bot sending as I'm forwarding mail in so no SMTP header.

Have sent mail to shanghai@hichina.com informing them of their resident spammer.

I'm running out of time today so as you're all waking up over the pond, please take up the reins and get on with the closing him down.

Looking at the dates of setup, he's presumably getting several backups set up so that when one goes he can bring another up straight away.

It's impossible to pin Slobaway down to a single server. He sets up false WHOIS domains and scatters them around the world... usually hacking into other legit servers and hiding them in there.

For example:
The last 2 domains are hosted on the servers for the Cable Radio & TV Network Info Ltd. HaiDian Beijing, China.

His one site that appeared at http://62.149.193.221/broadcastemail/ was also a hacked into server owned by Zerouno Studio Srl in Rome.

He had one at http://147.46.30.174/broadcastemail/ for the longest time. That server is owned and operated by the Seoul National University.

And that's just a small sample of how he operates.

In addition, he uses other sources when he actually sends out the spams. He's been known to use viruses to gain control of people's PCs and turn them into spam machines. He also sets up tons of free email accounts (and has advertised to pay people to do the same) he then spams out of those accounts until they are closed.

Earlier this year when he forged one of my domains in his spam attack (and I received notices of nearly 2 million bounced emails where he set the return address as mine in his blanket spamming)it showed that he typically sent out spams in blocks of 20-25 from different IP addresses, and they always changed.

He uses programs like DarkMailer that jumbles together names as the senders... We have all seen these random addresses: DiegoHendrick5@ AudreyRodriguez48@, HermanJordan517@ etc. etc.

When I received my "personal" email directly from him it traced back to Mexico from na-250-64.na.avantel.net.mx (148.245.250.64) and the spam I received today came from (HELO 226.red-82-159-9.user.auna.net) (82.159.9.226)which is from Spain.

So it's impossible to track him down to a single server, though I did set up a domain once that he started spamming & the stats page showed only one IP address as a visitor... which just so happened to be out of Washington state.

Whether we are 'street' enough is not the issue.

Round Robin tricks ??? - Hmmm ??

I've removed a few comments that threaten Mr. Soloway and his minions. If there was an intent to this thread, it would certainly not be one that threatened harm to anyone.

Please keep your comments on-point; tracking the sources of the spam and sharing with others who are similiarly interested.

Do a Google of "/211.155.132.206" and you'll see that ol' Bob has been using this server for a while with different domains.

Thank you all! I was thinking of doing some business with this fool and thought I better check him out first. A quick google and here we are. Thanks for saving me some dough and confirming what I thought from the start - "This can't be legal"...

# More "death threat" complaints 7/7/2006 12:50 AM opsan

Someone sent out a big pile of spams complaining about death threads emanating from this blog. See "'Death Threat' Advertising for my blog" at http://blog.opsan.com/archive/2006/07/07/30804.aspx.

Well that explains who 'nemisis' was

Srange he didnt want to sue himself mind you is it technically possible to be the victim and defendant in law?

One might thus class his threat as a sucide attempt, chuckle.

Probably another alias to add to our "infiltrator" list of aka's as per *:-http://blog.opsan.com/archive/2006/05/25/28138.aspx#28889

Search for any posts by those names throughout the whole Soloway topics, and you`ll get the gist.
As those tactics didn`t work, "prolly" (sic) our cuckoo turned to dirtier methods - Now who do we all know, that could possibly be capable of that ?

Yep - Great to get our pet s(c/p)ammer's info back online.
Hopefully, it was just coincidence it went down after opsan's DT/NetSol related post - (http://blog.opsan.com/archive/2006/07/07/30804.aspx)
Wouldn`t like to think Solowank had the satisfaction of being responsible :-(

OK All - Back to it - Now where were we ..... ?

I'll cover the downtime in more detail; was Comcast-related. We've since sorted it out to the benefit of both of us.
