Hi @SWarner,
this is a problem with "private" blocklists e.g. rbl.websitewelcome.com
they will list ip addresses, and then redirect you to spamcop, which is not involved in the listing through aforementioned RBL.
it happens often, and users who are blocked think that spamcop is to blame. Of course, there can be instances where a customer shares the same address range as a spammer, and ends up as casualty in the spam wars, but here, you are the victim of an independent RBL who has added the IP range you "inhabit" in his/her listing.
if you check goggle you will find a myriad of entries regarding that specific RBL, and it's not good.
https://www.google.com/search?q=rbl.websitewelcome.com
you can also check your mail host here: https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
maybe this info will be of help.
again, just to clarify: said RBL has no connection to spamcop whatsoever.
Good luck
Thank you for sharing this. I came here since I had a similar problem, but this comment definitely solves it for good.

If you would post Tracking URL for the examples we all could look.
The tracking URL above the spam or in the email you received saying the spam was ready to report.
Agree, the tracking URL will probably the best option for everyone to see the issue.

Century link installed a new pedestal in my area. It serves the next neighborhood over. The problem with it is they didn't install a battery backup and it is fed by fiber. So when my power goes out, they lose internet. I am not sure if they will ever fix that.
I simply cannot believe that you're saying. It is incredible that Century link commits such a dumb mistake.

This is quite interesting since we're talking about a really weird problem. Whenever you solve it, please let us know!

Yeah, probably a good idea to send the link to this forum to the deputies at deputies[at]admin[dot[spamcop[dot]net.
I don't know man. Do you really think this could be a good solution to the issue described?

I did notice that many, if not all of these spam emails contained "amazonaws" in amongst them. I decided to forward each one I received on one particular day to 'abuse@amazonaws.com'.
As if by magic, I haven't had one since. Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe list washing, or maybe I found the right place to complain. Who knows.
In my opinion, the case you are describing in this post definitely looks like list washing.

Hey there,
I wanted to send spam reports via mail, but due the the lack of TLS of the receiving mailhost of Spamcop this gets bounced.
I was really surprised to see, that Spamcop doesn't support TLS on their mailserver. Can you please enable TLS support, so I can securely forward spam mails? For almost al MTA's this is just a configuration.
Thanks in advance
Cheers, Hindrik

I just was very surprised that Spamcop doesn't use TLS, which IMHO is the defacto standard of sending e-mail these days. Unless you are a spammer and want to spoof stuff in your mail headers
Agree. Spamcop usually responds in a timely manner and tend to find a very effective solution most of the times.

Here are the terms on their site: https://tinyurl.com/app/terms
To be honest, I think that tinyurl's terms are simply terrible. It's a shame.

I think that you could send a message to Spamcop in order to describe this issue and get it solved quickly. A friend of mine did it a couple of months ago and it worked.

I started to receive about 20 spam emails a day from what appears to be from Google Groups.
I believe this is the tracking URL of one of them: https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6707809601z2c5de4ccffa47ffb304b7c3d74ca6f98z
and https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6707809629z40c0e8cd887ea54b6291795efdb74274z and https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6707809914ze468ce08815c2ade874ab7f97e5fce75z
Some of the headers look like:

At the bottom of this header are these clues:

If I follow that last unsubscribe URL, I get:

This group is on a private domain.When I report, it just goes to abuse@google.com and I doubt they do anything. Any suggestions on how to curb this?

You should definitely contact Google and explain this situation. After all, as far as I’m concerned, is not exactly normal that you received spams from Google Groups.

Hello - abuse@cloudflare.com receives the reports for tinyurl.com spam links, e.g. https://www.spamcop.net/sc?track=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2F , yet my searches with Google show that abuse should go to abuse@tinyurl.com -- is there a reason it's not using the abuse address?
Cloudflare seems to be ignoring reports (I report the same tinyurl links for weeks and they're still being used by spammers). Also,
First thing first: I’m not an expert at all. Nevertheless, all I can say it is extremely weird what you are describing. After all, Google should definitely use the abuse address.

I've been using their online form to report a phishing website that was often redirected to in the spams I received, and I can say their are reactive.
Only a couple hours after the report, i've received an email in which they said:
We have notified our customer of your report. We have forwarded your report on to the responsible hosting provider. You may also direct your report to: 1. The provider where xxxxxx.com is hosted (provided above); 2. The owner listed in the WHOIS record for xxxxxxx.com and/or; 3. The contact listed on the xxxxxxx.com site.
Then I visited the website and i had this: (before it was a fake Amazon survey to win an Iphone)
And this: (seems that the hoster was reactive too)
I'm so glad it worked ! 😁
Thank you for sharing this. A friend of mine was the victim of a phishing scam, and all I can say is that it was a pretty ugly situation.

You’re a lucky person. I still receive a lot of spam emails every single day!

Yup. Deleting is the best solution.
