SPAMCOP getting confused by long URLs

Recommended Posts

Lately I've been encountering SPAMVERTIZED sites in my daily diet of spam which SPAMCOP seems unable to un-obfuscate.

I'm seeing more and more sites like this. SPAMMERs have learned this weakness and are taking advantage of it.

SPAMCOP finds the link in the spam... but then is unable to trace the site:

Usual hype on gresat deals on Microsoft, Adobe, abd Symantec software.

Possibly doing the change-over at the time of your parse? But based on the speed of the responses from my research, this doesn't appear to be the result of a dodgy DNS server ,,, rather more likely is that they have some blocking going on ...

That's the domain owner -- it usually doesn't do much good complaining to them even if the address isn't fake. By the way, MapQuest says that "6059 Jane Dr Mentor, OH 44060" is a valid street address.

It also doesn't appear to do much good complaining to the ISP either. Am I right in assuming that the admins at most of the Chinese spamhauses don't bother to read or act upon SpamCop reports?

Perhaps the time has come for some sort of political pressure to be placed on the Chinese government for turning a blind eye to the problem.

I did some further study on the IP address -- it's kinda cool! B) -- it appears to move around every few minutes:

$ ping sucservice.com

64 bytes from 218.30.21.33: icmp_seq=3 ttl=242 time=458 ms

-------------------

They all trace to China. Wild and crazy stuff. I didn't know the internet operated that way. What's going on?

This maybe a clue as to why SpamCop is unable to resolve the address.
