Spammer Gets What Spammer Deserves

Wow, just saw this on TV, so I decided to translate this story into English so my readers will be first to learn this. Sorry for mistakes in my English, I'm doing this in a hurry :)

Alexey Tolstokozhev (btw, in Russian his name means 'Thick Skin'), a Russian spammer, found murdered in his luxury house near Moscow. He has been shot several times with one bullet stuck in his head. According to authorities, this last head shot is a clear mark of russian hit men (known as "killers" in Russia).

Who hated Tolstokozhev so much as to hire a hit man to assasinate him? Well, I guess you have about one billion e-mail users to suspect. Tolstokozhev was a famous spammer who sent millions of e-mail promoting viagra, cialis, penis enlargement pills and other medications. Links in these e-mails usually led to some pharmacy shop, which paid Tolstokozhev a share of its revenue. This is a well known affiliate scheme employed by spammers worldwide. Tolstokozhev is estimated to be responsible for up to 30% percent of all viagra and penis enlargement related spam.

In order to send millions and millions of unsolicited letters, Tolstokozhev employed a network of infected computers (so-called "botnet"), which he rented from hackers.

How profitable is spam? Well, the authorities say that Tolstokozhev has likely made more than $2 million in 2007 alone. (in comparison: average russian monthly salary is $400)

This is a second murder of a spammer in Russia. Another russian spammer, Vardan Kushnir, was assassinated in 2005.

"Violent murders is a clear sign that spam becomes a serious criminal activity" - the officials say. "Easy money attracts criminals, which bring their own version of "justice" with them."

This is a old story, right?

Anyway, good thing he was killed. He deserved it.

Sure, phishing, palpal scam, trojans...there are exceptions, I do business with russians as well, but unfortunately a majority runs their business in a very questionable way.

IM sorry, but I dont see that as getting what he deserved.

Gentle_Ben 10-11-2007 08:46 AM

Man, I personally get so much spam everyday, a lot of it's mainstream, but a lot is adult, pills etc... It's really fucking annoying!

gecko 10-11-2007 10:40 AM

Damn with the spammers ;)

Evil E 10-11-2007 10:44 AM

I'm getting spam on my email account since I subscribed to programs as an affiliate with that mail account.

Thank you, very honest programs :)

Is there a Paypal link to donate to the people who cleaned the internet of this trash?

The Demon 10-11-2007 11:29 AM

Let me get this straight. Porno pushers are bitching at spammers? That's hilarious. Much less claiming a spammer deserves death? If that is the case, the millions of porno pushers deserve death as well.

Except it's hilarious when sleezy porno pushers try to make a distinction between themselves and spammers.

Tom_PM 10-11-2007 12:06 PM

There's nothing sleezy about me. I'm a normal adult male who runs his household, doesnt drink or drug, is a good neighbor and pay's 5 figures just in taxes. All in all, a hell of a good citizen. How about you?

blah blah blah evil blah blah porno blah blah sleezy.. you can save it unless you are going to compliment me, ok?

dav3 10-11-2007 12:49 PM

A person who spams does not deserve to be murdered. Murder is a worthy punishment to only a few extreme crimes, but spamming your inbox is hardly one of them.
