I call Spam on this one: telling someone to email to a domain that doesn’t exist among other things

I’ve received one cease and desist article in my entire life, and while I know why, it was something that I didn’t find threatening. It was many years ago and it was in regards to sinulcasting a station I happened to listen to at the time.

This, however, is very suspicious. Asking Siri about the 88 number, it indicates that it is a prefix for Bulgaria.

This guy also puts the same message in both sections of my form, as well as asking if I got his prior email. I didn’t because I don’t even recognize the name. There’s more I’ll talk about, but get a load of the message below.

Next, this guy puts the text of my form within the body to submit the form to the network. My legit forms don’t have that, I’ve never seen it, so don’t understand why they put that in there.

The IP adress according to abuse IP DB is coming from Sweeden, and the first abuse report matches what I see.

Now, the domain. I went to the web site mentioned., it doesn’t even exist! You can’t send an email to a domain that doesn’t exist! I figured there must be a new business around so figured I’d call them and tell them that someone was using their domain for Spam. But the domain doesn’t even exist.

And, why do they have to put the same message in the bug reporting section of my form when they indicate there’s no bug? That is irritating. Just saying!

Anything else you saw about this that you don’t like? Sound off in the comments or send me an email! Contact info is on the blog, I forget which page its on though. Have a good one!
