Hi all!

I haven't been here for a decade or so, but there is a spammer that I'm
quite fed up with, but my spamfighting is a little rusty, so I'd like
some help if you can.

First, can I have a hat check on Bluehost.com, please? That's his ISP,
and he's been there for a while. I've sent first one detailed complaint
there, they said they had taken action. Then, he continued, they said
they had taken action, and now I just got another. I don't know if there
is a point sending more in their direction. If not, can anybody help me
find their upstream?

The specific spamvertized site is friluftsbutikken.com. It is run by a
company called "Romerike profilering": https://www.purehelp.no/m/company/details/romerikeprofileringas/999329497 tracking that down, I find them to be associated with this man: https://www.purehelp.no/m/role/viewBoardMember/46930801/joakimtonidahlbom
which is a name I recognize. He started his spam operation in 2009, and
has been bothering me ever since, but with low frequency.

Between 2012 and 2015, he had developed a sense of impunity so that he
stopped being shy about it, and used his full name in public
whois-registries, but after 2015, nobody does that anymore, so it became
harder to tell it is him. His operational pattern is to spam a lot for
a while, then get new domain names and wait a few months before a new
spam run. So, it is a whack-a-mole game.

For some time now, he has spamvertized what appears to be his own
operation or possibly his affiliate's operation, friluftsbutikken.com.
This has caused a major problem for an unrelated shop,
friluftsbutikken.no, and I am embarrassed to admit I fired a complaint
to them, and they said that they got a lot of these complaints. I've had
quite enough.

In addition to friluftsbutikken.com, his domains include habrev.com, probrev.com, probrev.site. They seem to at least have Bluehost as their
DNS provider. He's also figured regularly on SURBL, but apparently not
now. I have a list about 30 domains that he have used earlier. The most
recent spam came from nyhetsbrev1.org.

As I said, I have sent complaints to Bluehost (the first in late June),
but they have had no effect. So, what do you suggest I do next?

Please see below for the most recent spam with most of it.

Cheers,

Kjetil

At least in the past Bluehost did terminate spammer accounts. Didn't had
any spam recently involving them that I would know if they changed the hat color.

Seems to be spam targeted to you language. I find spam in languages other
than English more interesting.

To make things easier you can sign up at Spamcop. After doing so you have
to send one special email to them and click o a confirmation link. That
way their parser learns about you email ISP and not mistakes him as
spammer.

After that it copying the spam's source and paste it into their web
interface. They try to figure out who is involved and show a result. You
should have a quick look if that seems okay, then send. ISPs involved
will receive complains and be added to Spamcop's blacklist.

Bluehost.com is one of the subsidiary brands of EIG (Endurance
International Group), one of the world's largest web hosting providers.
For a company this huge, they manage their network quite well.

At least in the past Bluehost did terminate spammer accounts. Didn't had
any spam recently involving them that I would know if they changed the hat color.

Alright, good to hear! I guess they haven't had a lot of complaints, and
that they don't necessarily terminate on first offence. That's alright,
even though I told them about the history here. They really need to take
it down now, I think.

Seems to be spam targeted to you language. I find spam in languages other than English more interesting.

Yeah :-) Interestingly, spamming private persons have been illegal for a
long time in Norway, but I have on several occasions filed a report with
the Consumer Protection Authorities, but they have taken no action. I
believe that's the reason why he developed a sense of impunity.

To make things easier you can sign up at Spamcop.

Alright, thanks, I did. Unfortunately, it was too old (I've been on
offline holidays).

Thanks!

Right, I should send them an email too.

ascertainging how your address may have been added to this list,
apparently nearly a decade ago. It may be time to do something about
it. The lack of either or both does not portend well.

Yeah, actually, I did try a simple unsubscribe at some point. I suspect
that they have a master list that they seed new domains with, so they unsubscribe from a list hosted by a domain, and then, they throw away
the domain and resubscribe everyone when they get a new list up on a new domain.

Thanks!

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) also applies in Norway
AFAIK. One can keep a spammer busy to reply to this (where did you have
my email address from?), while threatening him to take legal action if
he doesn't reply and take action appropriately.

Yes, they only process spam newer than 24 hours. But I suppose your
spammer will spam you again, so you can file a complaint.

I used the spammer's registration option (PHPLIST) with a disposable
email address to see if he complies. There came a confirmation request
which said to ignore it if you haven't actually signed up (anyone can
register using any email address), known as double opt-in. If this
spammer sends me more mails I'm reporting him too.

Right. Interesting, I might see if the Data Inspectorate is more
interested in taking action than the Consumer Protection is.

Bluehost responded that they had taken action again, BTW. Everything
still resolves, so I asked what that action would have been, but I have
had no response to that.

They won't say what action they did to protect the privacy.

Perhaps they terminate the account or warn the user to do this if he
doesn't stop spamming. Assuming that, it's important to send another
complaint if he's spamming again to lose his account.
