Reporting spam and/or PHISHING emails to: spam.ORG?
nhraj700 replied to FeMaster's topic in SpamCop Lounge
I have been reporting to them as well along with the new reporting functionality at Threat Intel Community at Spamhaus using Email Source. I have several open support tickets with them that involve their email parser choking on international character sets. Locks it up deader than a door nail. Also I don't believe their parser correctly identifies the IP source. I get different results from the parsing by SpamCop. I wished they did have a community. I don't know what their overall success rate is. Another thing I have noticed is they send Microsoft abuse reports directly to abuse @ Microsoft and SpamCop is using the SEWR address. Be interested to know what others think. -
Microsoft spam reports go to the sewer?
nhraj700 replied to sc_aswglo's topic in Routing / Report Address Issues
FWIW, something positive I have noticed with this change in spam reporting address. I was averaging 300+ spam messages a week on my 25+ year old hotmail account. It's been really bad for the last 6 months. Since this change of reporting to the new "SEWR" address, my spam has dropped to around 4 to 5 spam emails a week. I am hoping Microsoft is finally getting a handle on it now. -

Unless it's AI and the scumbag that flicked on the switch has moved on to the next target.

Time will tell, but I tend to agree with your bludge statement. I have my doubts about honeypots anyways as it may take weeks or sometimes never for these spammer domains to show up on Spamhaus or SURBL so that good registrars might take action. At least with direct reporting they are getting somewhat live data from us "the abused". Now what they do with that direct reporting is another issue.

Heads up! Received this email from no-reply [at] consumersentinel [dot].gov Thank you for emailing spam [at] uce [dot] gov. You no longer need to forward your spam emails to this email box, because the Federal Trade Commission is now collecting spam through a honeypot, which is an online trap. This change makes it more efficient for the FTC to collect spam that is deceptive or violates the CAN-spam Act. This change saves tax dollars, your time, and helps the FTC collect deceptive and illegal spam. If you lost money to a scam that started with an email, please report it at ftc dot gov/complaint. There, you can also report spam you receive. Read more about how to limit spam, phone calls, and mail. Confirmed on the FTC website they changed their policy and are recommending you contact your email provider. Happy New Year!

Looks like you have to have Google G Suite which is intended for Admin's running an email group for Companies, Schools and other groups. About all I can do is block addresses which go to spam folder. On another note I have been able to have about a dozen domains suspended, however the spammers quickly react by creating/using other ones.

NameCheap won't do anything until Spamhaus does. Wished the average user could contact Spamhaus as whatever methods they use don't pick up on this attack. Is Dakota Green the spammer? https://whois.domaintools.com/redipping.com

I just did an experiment. I just happened to send in a report to US Cert, Spamcop, US Phishing and Anti-phishing org and the report came back from Spamcop stating that... Routing details for 67 229 173 51[refresh/show] Cached whois for 67 229 173 51 : abuse vpls comUsing abuse net on abuse vpls comNo abuse net record for vpls comUsing best contacts abuse vpls com ISP has indicated spam will cease; ISP resolved this issue sometime after 8/19/2019, 5:25:56 PM -0700 Message is 1 hours old What's weird is how did I get a fresh spam if VPLS fixed it? Anyhow, so I sent that particular spamcop report link and the offending domain name (redipping com) and IP to NameCheap and again created another ticket. I said to them look, VPLS admits this is spam so why don't you take care of this registrant. Maybe they'll move on it without having this domain on a SpamHaus blocking list. Fun Times!!

I was able to have NameCheap shutdown 4 of the domains. Small win I guess especially in looking at the article link you supplied. 4 shutdown of the 11K domains used to run spam bots on NameCheap. Damn not a very good winning percentage. The big problem is what you alluded to. They keep changing the IP's and so therefore avoiding any kind of blacklisting. NameCheap won't act on it unless Spamhaus has them listed. I guess I am the only person in the world reporting these guys. In looking at AbuseAT they are squeaky clean. I can't believe when looking up these domain names, domain IP's and hosting Ip's on the Talos Reputation page there appears to be no trouble for them. Too weird. Since 90% of the IP's identified by reporting to SpamCop are US based providers, I am also sending to phishing-report at us-cert gov. Not sure if I need others? In looking at the First List how do you know who to send to in other countries and are there any addresses to forward to? I don't see any abuse addresses only team contacts. Probably not looking in the right spot. You lost me on this one. Send to who, the Registrar, Host or Cert? And for DDOS attack? Is this what I am getting with a spambot. Or is that more of a server that's getting it not my home network? What addresses are you putting in the TO field. Domain Addresses or Host IP's? NameCheap actually looked at all my SpamCop reports and converted the IP's to Domain names. So they appear to be playing nice.

Petzl, Thank you for your input and recommended WIN program. NameCheap has indicated to me that while they don't host the data for these domains and can't check the server logs for spam abuse from the 30 or so I sent them through Spamcop reports, they however have opened up a case with Spamhaus. Is that a good thing and have you seen positive results from that or is this a "pass the buck" kind of move? They told me to report directly to the hosts, but I am assuming that isn't working as Spamcop is doing that through the reporting process. Out of the 30 I sent, only 5 domains showed up on the Spamhaus DBL list and according to NameCheap, that's what prompted them to open a case.

Hey all, Looking for some input on what "you" would do in addition to what I am already doing. I am at wit's end and considering giving up on this one. I seem to have landed on some spambot or persistent POS spammer's list on an email address that typically has had no spam sent to it or was successfully filtered by the provider. Unfortunately this ordeal has burned up all of my Spamcop fuel. I am reporting every spam email to Spamcop, UCE, ORA.FDA, ACMA, Phishing at US CERT, Phishing at Antiphishing org. This attack is repetitive in content and seems to be repetitive in sources. What bothers me is sometimes I get auto-response from Spamcop stating ISP has taken care of the address but what is weird is it is usually dated the day or two before and I am reporting within seconds of getting it. Is the spammer sending some sort of auto-response to Spamcop to trick it? Below is hopefully enough of a list of tracking url's that might give someone with better experience to ascertain what steps I might take and see a pattern.

Posted in case anyone is interested. Received this email this morning. Dear Member, On 22 May 2018 Knujon.net will cease accepting forwarded samples and the server will be shut down. Coldrain-related servers will also cease forwarding samples as well. The site Knujon.com will remain active and continue to publish updates to reports as well as maintain documents as an archive repository. The KnujOn project, for several reasons, will be winding down and completing its work. As many may suspect we do not have the resources required to maintain this project. However, KnujOn has largely achieved what it set out to do. Fifteen years ago my father, Dr. Robert Bruen, and I started KnujOn principally as a research project. The project was intended to test and evaluate the overall Internet infrastructure as it pertains to consumer abuse and systemic subversion. We have collected enough information to draw fundamental conclusions. Our final findings will be published and our members will have access to detailed analysis. Our research started as a technical endeavor but quickly became political (political in the broad sense of different groups competing for control of resources and influence). The political situation evolved into a criminal one and eventually into a clear problem of corruption and abuse of public trust as well as power. While KnujOn has been able to fix a number of problems within the Internet architecture, the core issue is beyond our ability to address. We have neither the resources to deliver the solutions that are truly needed nor to deliver the kind of user experience KnujOn members deserve. With that being said, our work is in fact successful and you have a lot to be proud of. All of this will be fully documented in our final report. On the technical side you should start seeing your report refreshed. Our service provider, without prior notice, switched the operating system of our key publishing server. This small change caused all of our uploads to fail or be overwritten with blank data. We were not aware of this problem for some time and fixing it was difficult because there were no actual errors in our code. This has been corrected and all samples received before 22nd will be processed and analyzed. Statistics and other report publishing will begin again now that this problem with our hosting company has been identified. In this effort we continue to support you, but the collection and processing of additional samples beyond this are not required to support the conclusions we have already reached. I know you may have been frustrated by our lack of progress and response, trust that no one is more frustrated than I am. Everything we have done was for the public good and with the best intent. We thank everyone for their dedication and participation in this project and hope you will find our final report useful. -Garth at Knujon.com

Just a heads up for anyone forwarding spam to KnujOn.com, they are shutting down their servers. I am posting what they posted on their servers recently as I was receiving error messages back from their mail server the last few days. One less effort in the fight. Dear KnujOn members, friends and visitors, This project will cease accepting samples from the public on 22 May 2018. The knujon.net will stop accepting email samples and the server will be shut down. The servers at coldrain.net will stop forwarding email. knujon.org will cease accepting new memberships and donations as of 8 March 2018. knujon.com will remain active to maintain historical information about the project but no sample data will be accepted. All currently held samples and all samples accepted up until 22 May 2018 will be processed. This research was started by Dr. Robert Bruen and Garth Bruen in 2003. After 15 years we have reached clear fundamental conclusions concerning the management of the Internet, findings which are neither pleasing nor surprising. We have taken this work as far as we can at this stage. A final comprehensive report of KnujOn findings will be published and maintained at knujon.com. We thank everyone for their dedication and participation in this project and hope you will join us when we start our next project which will be based on KnujOn findings. The details of this further research will be announced on knujon.com.
