Comments on: Fairy tale spammer http://spamhuntress.com/2006/05/09/fairy-tale-spammer/ Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 13 Oct 2008 11:50:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.7 by: blog.forret.com | Meet Mark Hostetler, spammer from Austria http://spamhuntress.com/2006/05/09/fairy-tale-spammer/#comment-18214 Fri, 16 Jun 2006 11:31:25 +0000 http://spamhuntress.com/2006/05/09/fairy-tale-spammer/#comment-18214 [...] Find.fm looks like an old style web directory: you can search for products you want to buy. The results are presented in a Google-like formatting, and all links go through a domain peakc.com. The latter is owned by a Stefan Meyer from Salzburg, Austria, and the first, as you might suspect, by Mark Hostetler, Rudigergasse 4, 1050 Vienna, Austria. Stefan Meyer is a too common name in Gemran to find anything specific about the guy, but Mark was easier to track down. Rojisan outs him as the owner of Cashwebsearch.com / Peakclick.com. So we can easily suppose that he is in fact also the one behind peakc.com . He even has a Peakclick GmbH company that boasts: “We have the highest bids in the Pay-Per-Click industry; we aggregate bids from twelve paid search partners to provide you with the highest revenue potential possible.” They’ve been doing that since October 2005. One of the affiliates claims that according to the console interface some webmasters earn up to $2000 per day with (of course, that is something you *would* tell them). Peakclick also got mentioned in the recent Guardian’s quest for a spammer and in a Spamhuntress post.

It’s very simple: Stop spamming altogether!
