shentino Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I've been reporting a lot of spam lately that uses sites like bit.ly and tinyurl.com to obfuscate links. I think it would be a good idea for spamcop to keep a list of such "url shortening services" and (automatically or on request by the reporter) dereference them into the links they point to.

RobiBue Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I do second that (a year later) with an addition to test the get headers of links for 302 redirects and report the whole redirection chain to their respective ISPs/abuse desks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lking Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Do keep in mind that the link in the body of spam, websites that are spamertized, are the lowest priority task for the parser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
