SPAM: ihubnetwork Helium IoT

Unsolicited SPAM advertising equipment for the Helium IoT network. It uses the now common subject starting with RE: to imply continuation of conversation and it also implies you need to get in early as “the network only requires 1 hotspot per neighborhood”.

Using a marketing service called Prospect Finder

Sender: Dave steve@prospectfinder.co
Subject: RE: Your Helium IoT Network is coming to Australia.
Links: https://ihubnetwork.net/

Hello,

The Helium IoT Network is coming to Australia.

It is an internet network for smart devices, owned by people.

Would you like to help build it and host a small hotspot device in your home or office?

You would be helping to extend the network’s coverage and, of course, getting paid (rent) to do so each week.

Please visit our site for details and join today to secure your location, as the network only requires 1 hotspot per neighborhood. https://ihubnetwork.net/

Thank You

SPAM: Zenq

A trend we’ve being seeing for a while is that of a company sending an initial email, and then following up multiple times on the same email continuing to encourage you to respond. It’s just harassment and not good marketing. The subject lines often try to infer the continuation of a conversation you started in the past by using things like RE:, but no such conversation ever existed.

When we have this type of experience with a company, it generally makes us think less of them and not want to work with them.

In this example we have Zenq and this is not the first time we’ve received this SPAM marketing harassment from them.
It looks like they could be making it a common practise as at least one other site has a similar complaint about them. Amusingly, you can also find them amongst breached emails on WikiLeaks sending SPAM to the Hackingcrew organisation.

FROM: Bhanu Neelapu bhanu.neelapu@zenq.com
