SPAM: HomeLight.com

Unsolicited SPAM from HomeLight home selling site. This looks exactly like affiliate SPAM as the email has come from a .click domain and the URL in the email are all very suspect.

SPAM: Spambots & Affiliate Spam

With a whole raft of cheap top level domains has come a whole raft of spambots. Amongst the domains we are seeing are .cam , .click and .work and many others.

In all these affiliate SPAM emails we also see two unsubscribe options and two mailing addresses. One is for the product being SPAM marketed and the other is the bot/people sending the SPAM. The addresses are almost always invalid under the vague guise of meeting SPAM regulations, which of course the email doesn’t. As the pattern is almost the same, we suspect it’s the same SPAM organisation generating this traffic.

Although things keep changing, it’s reasonably easy to block a new top level domain and a new SPAM address. It is disappointing that mail providers generally don’t provide built in support for a top level domain block or allow list. It would make this style of SPAM behaviour far less appealing.

TIP: Never click on links or buy products from unsolicited emails. There is a chance the website you end up at won't be legitimate and, even if it is, you're earning a SPAMMER commission which only makes the behaviour continue.

SPAM: Multiplier

In a growing trend, we a seeing a lot of unsolicited marketing SPAM persistently following up with nag emails as if it’s a valid marketing strategy to get new customers. It’s not, it’s just SPAM.

This time it’s SPAM from Multiplier without any unsubscribe mechanism.

FROM: Rongni Li rongni@multiplier.email or at rongni.li@usemultiplier.com
SUBJECT: RE: <company name> < > Multiplier

SPAM: Socialgrowthco.com & Trent Farnes

So it seems Trent Farnes (@trentfarnes) has changed domain names as we’ve just received another Instagram collaboration offer, this time with Khloé Kardashian @khloekardashian.

FROM: Trent Farnes trent@socialgrowthco.com
SUBJECT: Khloé (185M+ Followers) + <instagram handle>

Hi <instagram handle>,

We have an exciting Instagram promotion launching on October 27th with Khloé (@khloekardashian) that we thought you may be interested in joining based on your interest in growing your brand.

Khloé will be asking her 185M+ followers on Instagram to follow a group of brands in order to qualify. These brands will be participating in a “group buy” that will allow them to gain exposure and qualified, targeted followers from her audience at a fraction of the cost.

On top of new followers gained, we have a bonus where people enter their name and email address – and you’ll get all of the emails submitted to use for your marketing purposes.

If you’re interested in learning more, let me know and we can set up a time to chat. These spots will go fast!

Thanks,

Trent Farnes

The domain records a redacted and we see the office address has changed. The website is branded Social Stance. In a cached version, we saw a different website which said SocialGrowth.co is a trade name of FDS Media Ltd which as best we can tell is a lead generation partner. In other words, scrape and collect your data to give to others.

SocialGrowth.co is a site operated by FDS Media Ltd., San Stefano 23A, fl.2, ap.4, 1504 Sofia, Bulgaria

We haven’t seen anything being publicly promoted by celebrities in previously mentioned campaigns, so we suggest this “group buy” and you getting peoples names and addresses is questionable.

SPAM: Just Promotions & choosemylocation.com

We recently received generic SPAM for marketing promotional products from Just Promotions.

FROM: no-reply info@mailjustpromotions.com.au
SUBJECT: Be In Front Of Your Customers
WEBSITE: justpromotions.com.au

The SPAM itself is pretty uninteresting but one thing did seem interesting.

AND ENJOY A “COMPLIMENTARY HOLIDAY” ON US!

Some more good news – for a short time , you’ll also get a COMPLIMENTARY AUSSIE HOLIDAY for two with every $1,000 you spend.

So if you bought $2,000 worth of “promotional products” from us, you’ll get 2 COMPLIMENTARY AUSSIE HOLIDAYS!

Fantastic, right? A complimentary holiday. Sounds too good to be true, right? Let’s look a little closer.

The website linked to about the holiday promotion is choosemylocation.com by a company called The Institute of Wow, who are a Sales Agent for redeemvactions.com

T’s & C’s available at choosemylocation.com

Reading the terms & conditions is pretty interesting. The are a lot of restrictions on how and when you can use your complimentary Aussie holiday, but a few things in particular stick out.

  • You must register and pay a fee before you can login and search for locations and dates.
  • Travel must be completed within 18 months after activation (not booking).
  • You must select a location up front before you can check dates or availability.
  • Booking & Service fees of $33 AUD apply per night. Friday and Saturday nights you will also get charged an additional surcharge.

Suddenly our “Complimentary Aussie Holiday” seems less complimentary and could border on false advertising.

Always read the terms and conditions and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
