Spammer Spotlight

Not long ago I started receiving what appears to be SPAM e-mail messages from someone claiming to be from an organization called ‘SPAMIS.’

They were not the typical SPAM messages I receive for penny stocks, Viagra or cheap software. These seemed to be geared more towards some kind of ’cause,’ which was not adequately explained, other than an apparent hatred for Microsoft.

These messages are also written in such a way that make me suspect that the author is not a shining example of mental and emotional stability. There is just something about them that seems a little ‘off,’ if you will.

When I received this one, I decided to do a little digging and see if I could figure out what it was all about.

Apparently some mental defective by the name of Robert Soloway lost some kind of lawsuit involving Microsof,t and has taken it upon himself to dispense his own brand of revenge on the software Goliath.

Mr. Soloway, as it turns out, is uniquely qualified to spearhead this type of effort, since he is also well known as one of the world’s most prolific spammers. That, evidently, has something to do with the aforementioned lawsuit.

So why am I writing about this here? Well, just to give people on the Internet another place to read about a jackass named Robert Soloway. I figure he deserves all the fame that the Internet can provide, since he is responsible for invading the e-mail in-boxes of millions of people the world over.

By the way, the e-mail address he used to contact me was one that I set up specifically for the purpose of using as the contact address when I register a new domain. I do not use this e-mail address for any other purpose.

Be sure, when you register a new domain that you set up an alternate e-mail address to use if you want to avoid these low-life spammers like Soloway, who troll through the domain registration records for e-mail addresses.
