Joe Job using drugrevenue affiliate email addresses?

I've been receiving lots of spam to the unique email I created when signing up to drugrevenue... over 1,000 emails in the past few days.

In addition, I'm also receiving bounces showing that some of the spams sent to others are using MY address as the apparent source.

Looking through the spams there's relatively few different (forged) source addresses, and some of the domains look like they could be penis pill related, so I wouldn't be surprised if these are addresses of other drugrevenue affiliates.

Who is doing this, how did they get our email addresses, and why are they doing this?

No bloody wonder spamhaus went sick and got a bunch of affiliate domains suspended... mine included...

Good luck in dealing with it. You'll need it. Trust me.

Bump

The spammed URLs point to a drugrev whitelabel (no surprises there)

I've made pretty good money with DR but bullshit and spam complaints always seem to surround them. I think i've had enough and going to drop them.

Enough is enough.

I only flirted briefly with something I wasn't 100% comfortable with (ie, non prescription pharmaceuticals), not long after that my domain was suspended without notice by Moniker (simply because it was assigned to the drugrev name servers), and now there's this Joe Job spamming crap... I think I'll stick with legit TGP sites!
