Only 1 GFY´er made the list? Thats sad!

People should read #8

Yambo Financials
Huge spamhaus tied into distribution and billing for child, animal, and incest-porn, pirated software, and pharmaceuticals. Run their own merchant services (credit-card "collection" sites) set up as a fake "bank."

There are plenty of GFY'ers listed on that site in other areas.

intersting

spamhaus is so full of shit its not even funny. most of their information is never verified and just rumours.

not too mention there are many signs they are mailers themselves and use spamhaus to take out the competition

nailed it.

im still not here :sigh:

shit you guys found me:1orglaugh, GOD DAMN - WHAT A TRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!:warning

Like Whoa!

Just did a search to refresh my memory... the term 'yambo' will throw up several threads of interest on GFY. :thumbsup

fuck, i got the 2nd place there ((

Man you aint kidding....

Fuck! I didnt make the list.

how does these spammers make money?

"Did they have a phone number for Yambo?

"I have the address of their main headquarters in Gainesville, Florida."

That address turned out to be an apartment whose phone number was registered to five people with the same Russian-sounding last name.

I called and asked for the person who handles the grant giveaways.

"What?" said the sleepy female voice that answered.

The grant giveaway? The free money from the government?

"Oh, that must be Anton."

I left a number, but Anton never returned any of my calls."

oh snap

Not even close to accurate. Where am I on that list?? Not to mention, where are the guys who run spamhaus? They're huge spammers, easily top 10 worldwide I would guess. They don't have to work around blacklists like the rest of us mailers.

Funny thing about lists like Rosko, they only count spammers who get termed from hosts. So guys who run their own datacenters, or have reliable hookups in places like HK (or Pakistan like myself). Not to mention mailers intelligent enough to have front companies incorporated in friendly nations that can't be traced to them.

I've been doing bulk mailing for damn near ten years, and I have been terminated from a host exactly once. Probably hundreds of billions of emails sent by me personally, and the way that list is set up, even if they knew everything about my business practices, I wouldn't qualify for their database. Yet some kid with a proxy mailer who gets termed from two $99/month servers over two months of mailing is in. Completely useless even if it were well intentioned, as opposed to the front for spammers that it is.

Note: While I am a bulk mailer who sends UCE, I have followed the can spam act to the letter since the day it was introduced. My business is completely legal, so you bitches out there with inferiority complexes because your 500k/day TGP only makes you $400 a month, don't waste your time crying to some LE agency about me.

Who is from GFY?

Dear lord..

So are you saying you manage to do all this mailing with out using proxies?

The russian only got 4 spots??? WTF??? Are they slipping up or what?

yes

....

Hey! Good for Python. Glad to see they're still rocking sales after all these years. Would have thought they'd all have so much money by now they'd start slipping like most people do when they achieve that level of success. Personally my numbers are way down from say four years ago, due to just not giving too much of a shit, and I'm nowhere near as successful as them. They must be exceptionally greedy bastards! :1orglaugh :thumbsup

that would really suck to get on that list ha ha, lesson here dont spam!

I mean I've used proxies plenty in the past, but not at all since Can-Spam. Anyway I find it easier just to burn through IP ranges.

this spamhouse cocksuckers almost closed 10 sites of mine, never in my life sent a single spam email, fucking cocksuckers, got in trouble with one of my hosts bout 3-4 years ago, fucking faggots

Everyone on that list has over 10 million dollars. Most probably 5 times that.

For that you can put me on the list of People Magazine's biggest douchbags on the planet, I don't give a fuck. How does making a list on the internet outweigh being more wealthy than most regular people (including 99.9% of this board) could ever dream of? Do you think any of them are going to lose a wink of sleep over a silly ROKSO list?

Most of the people on that list seem to be scumbag scam artists; the yambo guys, fake pills or whatever. I wouldn't piss on those clowns if they were on fire. They should go to jail, but not for mailing. However the good old fashion porn peddlers, casino pushers, etc... they are all operating legally and worth massive sums of money. How is the lesson here don't spam?

Well if true, I can at least give you credit for playing by the rules. One of the things that always annoyed me was how the govt treated e-mail spam. It's a crime if you do it on the net, but as long as you pay the govt it's postage fee you can spam anyone you want with junk mail and the US postal service will be your delivery method.

So, how many of GFY on Spamhaus ?

spam for spammers:)

I wonder what it would cost to start bulk mailing through the postal system with offers for online services or products. You'd probably have better results than emailing. Everyone looks at their mail.

Pornographers and casino guys can't do it because we'd go to jail. Too late to do it now because the ression is going to kill consumer spending, but if you had something profitable enough there was a time when you might have been able to make money that way, I don't know, I've never looked in to it at all.

I was always surprised that I never got much general advertising for online stuff. I mean I always get tons of shit for industry stuff, but that's because I'm on lists all over the damn place. I always thought it was a market that hadn't been exploited. I kind of assumed that some folks tried it and just couldn't get the numbers to work. We certainly get enough of the shit from every brick and mortar business on earth. You'd assume that some wise online people would be able to make it work for them too.

AOL made a killing doing this, obviously. They had a service was very expensive and very profitable, and they did it at the exact right time, but they made fucking billions and it was all from snail mail spam.

That brings up an interesting point as well. I've always thought that instead of treating spam as a law enforcement issue, governments, data centers, and telecom companies should tax mailers.

Winning the war on spam militarily is going to be about as successful as the what, 30+ year attempt at winning the war on drugs that way. :2 cents:

However I don't like the argument that spammers are somehow abusing networks and bandwidth and blah blah blah. Spammers pay for their bandwidth just the same as anyone else who runs a for profit online site. The people we should be focusing on suing and arresting and outing like this list is doing, are the people who are hijacking computers and using them to send spam and whatever else. Those guys are criminals and I think it's really on microsoft and apple to get on that shit. Stop them, track them down, and arrest them.
