11and12.net is a brand-new spam server domain registered last week and used by the India-based Data Champions / Sloan Marketing scam group to send out their B2B spam selling email addresses. It’s hosted at bodhost.com in the [174.141.226.*] IP range (174.141.226.103 to be exact), like many of their spam server domains.
Communicate-pro.com is another Data Champions spam domain that we note. Spam from a so-called “Peter Walker, Business Development Executive” from “Futuristic Group” is being sent with a peterw@communicate-pro.com return address, but the actual email contains a peter.walker@futuristicinc.org signature.
Futuristicinc.org is a Data Champions B2B spam domain that has been around for a while. Like many Data Champions’ domains, it doesn’t have a web site. Spam from this same peter.walker@futuristicinc.org signature was sent from Data Champions’ hosting102.net spam server last year [115.124.102.115], long before 11and12.net was born.

A nearby phone number, 302-353-4442, has been used in many spams signed with “Infinity Intellectual” addresses (instead of “Web Intellectuals).” “Infinity Intellectual” addresses often resemble names like infinity-intellectual-mail.com, infinity-intellectual-email.com, infinity-intellectual.info, and infinity-intellectuals.com.
