Information Technology Marketing: 1.3Million Record Mailing List -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to: Date: 2007-09-04, 1:35PM EDT This is a large list with loads of information. Don't be afraid to ask about any market, I'll see what I can mine out of this for you. Location: Orlando Compensation: $0.0025/email

Is there a law forbidding this? Does anyone care?

Craigslist.com is a great resource for picking up a deal here and there as well as picking up various jobs. Now it seems the spammers are copying legitimate posts and reposting them under their own accounts. I can only guess that this is an e-mail pharming campaign and not a bad one at that. What makes them stand out is the "Compensation: 50$ to 100$perhour!" however i have seen posts listing the jobs at 20/hour in the post and it will still have the "Compensation: 50$ to 100$perhour!" at the bottom. I signed up for one last week just to see what i would get sent... The usual porn teasers, strange pdf files (read: viruses, worms, etc), etc. There goes the neighborhood... Thankfully i have spamassasin running to catch all this junk so i just get notified when it hits. I know also of a tremendous product called Exchange Defender, have you heard of it? Contact me for more info.
