Block 195.225.177.81
Comment spamming bot:

The bot had left at least 1750 comments in my blog before I got wise!
E-mail addresses always end with @hotmail.com, though recently he started using hotmails.com. The e-mail addresses are obviously fake. He must have found a database of names, and mixed it up before using each name as a hotmail address.
He uses free webhosting accounts exclusively. I tried this one:
financebestmor.tripod.com/debt-help-legal-problem.html
that redirected to
findmorepill.com/findit.php?q=debt%20problem
The stuff on that page leads to various affiliate links, including peakc.com
findmorepill.com is owned by:

Pilosoft…
Kasturba Nagar is a place or area in Nagpur, so probably a fake name.
The nameservers refer to a domain owned by
AWMDomains Ltd.

This is a well known law firm in Israel, BTW. And yes, the address is correct. Asking them about the spamming might be a good idea. Update: I e-mailed them, and got no reply. Which means they have been notified, and have not told us they’re not involved in this. So, Kantor Elhanani Tal works with spammers? Sure looks that way if they’re not bothered to protest!
On the same IP as the findmorepills domain are some other domains as well, and they’re all owned by AWMDomains. Well, except findmorepill:
fatbares.com
plumperpiece.com
plumperpiece.com has been spamvertized (May 2006) by the same spambot, and the root site currently redirects to a porn domain, daily-porn-zone.com, owned by:

I can’t find spamvertizements for fatbares.com, but it sports the same script as findmorepill.
lexikus.com has a javascript redirect to findmorepill.
