Thank God for Bulk-Email Harvesters; How Else Could I Get Spammed so Relentlessly?
The newest netizen to discover the power of bulk-emailing wants me to visit my-domain-register.com (don’t) from the ever-so-clever email address of “gmailer@tradeim.com.” Never mind the unidiomatic “domain register” (instead of domain registrar), but it gets better when the site brags, “Hot: Search under 44121 investment domains!”
Just to top their offer, I now invite you to search under 1 bajillion (sp?) names by clicking here! (Link doesn’t work? Success!)
The whois on m-d-r traces back to China and a repeat offender in the world of “bothers to inboxes.”

I would list of the names that are for sale on that site in the hope that folks would think twice about transacting with a spammer, but the backlinks would help him more than they would hurt.
Oh, bother.
