We’ve seen occasional B2B spam for the last few years from from the Netprospex group, usually using the netprospex.com and netprospexdb.com domain names. These domains don’t seem to stay on black lists very long, so we’ve added them to our own internal blocking lists.
Their latest spam is especially obnoxious, because it warns you that you will be spammed further unless you click their opt-out link to unsubscribe:
Last week, you received an email informing you that you will begin receiving business related emails from NetProspex Direct. Before the emails begin, I wanted to be absolutely certain that our emails are welcome.
Of course, the sender doesn’t care that their spam isn’t welcome, or they wouldn’t be sending this piece of spam in the first place!
These latest spams link to the mardevdm2.com, dm2lists.com and dm2decisionmaker.com domains, none of which we’ve seen on blacklists yet. Maybe they’ve purchased their way onto a whitelist somewhere. Any email that mentions the term “decision maker” is almost guaranteed to be spam on our system.
We blacklist mardevdm2.com, dm2lists.com and dm2decisionmaker.com because they have no good reason to contact us except to send spam and try to sell us lists of email addresses.
