Spammer Hangout's Membership Roster Left Exposed
MikeCapone writes "According to an article at Wired News, spammers feel the need to be part of a community too. The Bulk Club is one such community. A message on the site states that it offers, for a $20 monthly fee, a variety of how-to articles, spamming software, a members' message board area, and 300,000 FRESH e-mails/week. Unsurprisingly, the 'Law & Ethics' section is 'Members Only.' The good part is that, because of a glitch, the membership list of this charming organization was left exposed on the website."
Maybe they'd be interested in some anti-spam software.
Big surprise that the membership offers look like a site selling you snake oil, which is pretty much what these guys do, right? Fp?
--<Mike>--
Make no mistake, my aim will prove true. I should have this whole "spam" ordeal cleared up by late September.
*as a side note, it wouldn't hurt to sign up and learn how your enemy thinks, and how he employs his tactics. Before you gun him down like a dog in the street, that is.
Give them the slashdot effect and spam them to hell!
I'd be interested in seeing the list of bulk friendly isp's :)
What's the difference between these remarkle advertising vehicles? Don't be left without the proper knowledge when sending out your offering to the masses. Along with our other various How Tos, learn the difference before any mailing.
I have never felt so good to be part of the Slashdot effect.
BTW, as pointed to in the article, a list of members was posted to Usenet w/a list of memberships. There was also a link to an archive of the contents of the site; here's a link:

The shoe is on the other foot, isn't it? That was certainly a fortunate glitch.
I wonder how the spammers feel now that their personal information and identity is being passed around the internet. I wonder if they are receiving "unsolicited" email.
Muhahahah...

How can they have an ethics section with spamming? Does it include something along the lines of "it is ethical to enter your email list to our database so we can have a super database" and send your membership check to "this address"...
From the article:
In an e-mail interview, Auman said that the club was dedicated to promoting "responsible" business practices and that it offers information about misleading tactics used by some spammers simply to show why they are improper.
Now, I hate spam and spammers with a passion, but I must admit that the subject lines and stuff I've been getting recently are a lot more appropriate. At least the spam I get, they aren't trying to hide it anymore with stuff like "Re: Your bank account" or "Re: Tech support" and it's about debt management or a second mortgage or my wang. Too bad that their "responsible business practices" include articles about spoofing (probably about spoofing emails and forging headers) and harvesting emails ("opt-in" my ass).
But anyways... down to the real reason I posted. Did anybody manage to get any info about addresses, telephone numbers, etc? I have a baseball bat and some free time in the mornings before work... and late nights are free too! DId I mention I live in Florida, just like this guy:
Among the Bulk Club's list of 159 "active members" was Damon Decrescenzo, one of the operators of Rockin Time Holdings, a Florida junk e-mailer sued by Microsoft in June and by Amazon this month.
I have responsible business practices too! I am responsible for alot of death and destruction...

The membership list only has names, but no doubt a bunch of them can be traced to single spammers.
There is the downside of not knowing which are real spammers and which are just working to become spammers, but both are pretty bad.
One of the members appears twice. I wonder if they double-paid.
How else would they know what e-mail addresses to filter and which to accept messages from?
The worst part of working at a job where I use a Windows box is I can't ssh to my Mac and set a cron job to accidentally curl their whole site every minute. And to think, /dev/null on my box at home is just screaming "Feed me with wasted bandwidth from spammers!"

The first rule of Bulk Club is you do not talk about Bulk Club. The second rule of Bulk Club is you do not talk about Bulk Club. Penis enlargement pills are for masturbation. (Well, who can actually use a 24" tool?)
Forget "Don't send" lists.
To enforce industry responsability do a national "must include" list.
Liccens spammers AND every spammer must be on the must include list AND spam to everyone on the must include list.
Here is where the fun begins.
Also on the must include list are spam scounts that track the latest spam to update spam filters.
But it get's better.
Also added to the list is fedral observers who check up to be sure all spam is being sent to the must spam list.
As a member of the must spam list you can opt out IF the spammer honnors the opt out system. Of course opt out to be required.
Fedral agents will randomly test opt outs, randomly test the list.
and the e-mail address given for the "must spam" list must be actively read by the spammer. A fedral agent will occasionally contact the spammer at the address to be sure the spammer is still reading his e-mail if not he must pay a hefty fine and repeated offenses msy cost him his liccesn.
This should inspire spammers to police themselfs quite well and do something about the worst spam tactics.

How Ironic.
A spammer is someone who comes to your house every day and rings the doorbell every 37 seconds. He makes it difficult for you to go outside because when you do, he'll pin advertisements for Viagra and get-rich-quick schemes all over your clothes. After a while, your mail carrier may not even show up at your house, for fear of this miscreant.
Spammers hide behind legalities, but they are profoundly immoral, in the sense that they don't give a damn about what their actions do to the larger community. The irony is that they are busy bringing down the very edifice that allows them to conduct these activities.
Alchoholics are sick people who can be cured.
Political dissidents may have views I disagree with, but they're not forcing me to listen to them.
Spammers are just people who don't give a damn about anyone else, and are willing to make money off of crippling a mechanism that millions of people depend on every day.

Hey, friends, I've found this awesome GET RICH QUICK scheme that actually works and is legal. You might have thought that get rich quick schemes are all fake and in fact most of them are but there are a few that actually work and I'm lucky enough to have found one that has made me lots of money in no time at all. I'm sending this email 2 you as a friend 2 help you out in your financial problems and so more people can get into this great offer.
Few good points:
Can make up to $20,000 to $50,000 in 4 to 6 weeks if done correctly.
It is perfectly LEGAL because everyone that joins comes out on top.
100% guaranteed that you will make more money out of it that you put into it.
Make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.
So EASY to do that a 4 year old child could become rich.
Uses an simple secure internet account called Paypal that takes only seconds to join and seconds to get you started instead of the time and effort it takes to send it by post.
JOIN Paypal at https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_registr ation-run
I've actually taken the 10 minutes it requires to join this wacky bunch of optimists and I'm hoping that there are others out there who will spare the change to try this and want to see the same results.
"I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through news groups and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 email addresses stated in the article. You then place your name and address in the bottom of the list at the #6th position and email it to as many people as possible, advertise this page in as many ways possible, also post this message with your email address in the list and post it in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured "what have I got to lose except $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... Within a days, I started getting money coming into my Pay Pal account! https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_registr ation-run. I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00 that means 25 people joined the group after they seen my posted messages to them. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and the 5 seconds it took to join Paypal https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_registr ation-run , I have spent more than that on the lottery!
Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it, as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!
Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (Print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00.
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk- it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.
PLEASE NOTE: Please follows these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and

Speaking of spam, yesterday I submitted a story to /. which was published. Unfortunately, I was stupid enough to include my email address in the story. Today I had over 100 virus' and spam sent to me, whereas in the last 3 months of using the address, I have had 0 spam. Just a warning to anyone else who wants to submit an article. I also wrote an email to Rob about this asking that a warning be put on the submission page about using email addresses on the site.

I'm devastated. Jimi Hendrix is on the list. First they tell me he's dead, and now they tell me he's a spammer. I guess he went to hell and that's where they taught him how to spam. Tragic.

I've got a good idea about bandwidth costs. However, last year Alan Ralsky bought a house for $740,000. How much bandwidth will 150 or so spammers be able to afford?

If they can't just point and click there will be a lot less spammers just trying to make a quick buck.
looking at your posting history you have posted rather a lot of replys to this subject, have you got something to hide ? do you feel threatened that maybe your name is on this list ? sure looks that way, better keep your head down chum before we find out who you really are
Anyone else see the popup that asks if you want to join their mailing list. Gee, I wonder how that email address will be used.

That's insanely expensive. Anybody paying more than $.50/gig is getting ripped off. And on top of that spammers deal with BULK bandwith, meaning that they can probably find it for $0.25/gig. Nobody (other than your company, apparently) pays $70K for a mere 180 gig /month throughput.

In the linked article on the wired site to the ex-neonazi pushing penis pills, it claimed that 6000 people casually gave their credit card details over a non secure link to a site with no contact address or telephone number. Given this level of stupidity, I can actually see the value of spamming.

I'm not a spammer, and I don't sympathise with them. But when you people post this stuff about killing spammers now that we have a list of them, it makes me think about when the list of abortion doctors was posted, and people actually did kill them. This is not something to joke about!

They found my homepage!
the links at the top, that give you the members only pop-up does nothing else but this, the buttons have no other function whatsoever...
this site is only about making those 20 bucks on registering, and collecting email adresses and maybe other information from people that try to register.
I wonder how much spam these guys actually get?
Thinking about it the answer is probably "none". Imagine it - these guys probably have ALL the spam lists - you can bet they remove their own addresses from those lists!
Did we brea...I mean thorougly test their site yet?
A: They have an INCREDIBLE amount of bandwidth to withstand the /. effect like this. You don't get that with a cheap fake site.
B: The webhost ( www.it-india.com ) is also a SPAM portal ( http://www.it-india.com/emailblasters.asp )

Write a script that (by checking DNSs) creates a huge bulk of non existing domains, then every time you write on a newsgroup or on the web, hide your real address using the usual methods (j03u53r-4t-d0m41n-c0m) and put a small number of fake mail addresses with their domain random picked from that list. This may help slowing the spammers because of the DNSs queries timeout.

I now get why spamming is so profitable - I may try it myself. If you use thier handly-dandy "power of numbers" calculator, you can see that:
If I send a million mails for something that I make a 50 dollar markup on, I'm instantly 250k richer, in thier "worst" scenario!
If I send the mail to a billion people instead, then I just made enough money so my great-great-great-great grandkids can retire.
If I send it to 100 BILLION email addresses, then hey - I'm one of the richest men in the world. In fact, I may just generate a few hundred billion email addresses on this box right here, and send them all a mail.
See you, suckers - I'm off to spam my way to the top!
So we are given two email addresses for the person that runs the site right? an AOL and a Hotmail one... So I figured I'd send the guy an email, I sent it from my regular address, and I don't care if I get lots of spam as a result, I already do.. What's he gunna do that could be worse... anyways.... here's what I sent. maybe we should all do the same :)
I read that you were running a website for spammers that offered email addresses of people that they would then intern spam.. My question is, is this true?
Are you the type of person that would do such a horrible thing? I get lots of spam and other junk mail every day, and it's bad enough when it comes to my computer email, and I can just delete without having to look at it at school for free. But that's not enough. I get junk mail to my cell phone. That means that when junk mail is sent to my email account for my cell phone, the server sends a ping to my cell phone telling it that I have a new email. Then my phone downloads the email from the server. This time it is downloading, that uses up air time, and COSTS ME MONEY!!
I think that is just pathetic. Why is this? I have not posted my cell phone email address anywhere, in fact, I have never sent an email from my cell phone anywhere buy another cell phone. Can you tell my how little fucks like you can do this shit to people?!?!? you mother fucking cock sucker, what the fuck is your problem making money off of making life worse for other people? You clearly are Catholic, and sure as shit aren't Buddhist. I can't wait until your next life when you spawn in as a fucking ant that gets stepped on every 30 seconds, only to respawn in as an ant again. Your mental capacity will be so low that you wont even know what is going on (and that really isn't much different from now is it you pile of fucking horse shit!)
heres some idea to get back at the bunch:
get an acount with them - fake name and cc
get the spam them list and send a mail out to all the customers: "get back at the spammers that junkmail you all day - heres the adress, the hosting company, etc etc."
take the spam friendly ISP and server list, go to cauce and others, have them blacklisted, vote for a internet router death toll. whatever, get them off the net, and inform them about what will happen -
for them customers is money, and you kick the balls where it really hurts.
now to the nice part, find who physically supports this and have them physically spammed with real-life advertising.
in about a week or two, they know its hell to pay coming back.
Now if only we could get these guys http://www.flashmob.com/ to turn up at his house and offer to sell him double glazing.
Harry would take care of those spamming bastards. He'd whip out his wand, shag Cho Chang with it, and once it was covered with her love stank, he'd cast ALOHOMORA PORT 25 and POW!! that baby'd be wide open. Harry would use that dark arts kung-fu shit he knows to pump more spammer names into that friggin port than you could believe. And then POW!!! He'd click send and Hedwig his owl would fly over and shit right on every one of their heads 4000 friggin times in a single month.

Have a look at their webpage, and you'll find this section:
"Please Note
The Bulk Club does not promote any portion of this site via bulk email period. It is against our hosting providers terms of service to do so and we will not tolerate anyone who abuses these rules on our web site."
So what we need to do is bulk mail a promotion for their site, that way their hosting providers will throw them.
Only one teeny weeny little problem with this plan, the bulk mail part... I just can't make myself do it, it goes against every moral fibre in my body!

I can imagine how annoying it must be to get such a large amount of spam, but I've truthfully never gotten much.

I gather by the discussions of weapons caliber, lingering stomach wounds and other methods of mass mayhem that spammers aren't winning any popularity contests among /.ers. Personally, I recommend deep-frying in olive oil ... it's low in cholesterol, healthy and good for the skin.

Better yet, this site deletes your e-mail account 24 hours later (up to 8 days), so spammers will get "Error 404 e-mail address not found"

What advantage? The advantage of paying money for stuff that doesn't work? Penn & Teller pretty much disproved all that stuff.

Goodbye, Bulk Club. We hardly knew ya.

Wow. You have *way* too much time on your hands. More than the average slashdot reader, even.
There is an ethical justification in being given no option (by the enemy) to defend yourself in ways other than using unethical means in order to protect yourself and your loved ones. These particular types of enemy tend to be called "truly evil" because they make you break your own morals to fight them.
e.g. having to shoot a person so that he doesn't shoot you.
If your moral/ethical code prevents you from doing onto others what they have done onto you, in situations where such actions can damage or kill, perhaps it's time to consider whether to renew your subscription, do some debugging, or switch to another vendor.
"Turn the other cheek" doesn't cut it with certain types of enemies. They know this, and you know this.
And they have a word for people on whom this technique works.
The word is "sucker".

here's a google search on the first name on the list (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&i e=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22Drew+Auman%22). entertaining at parties! must be a fun guy! email addresses were not present, though as you can see from the first google entry, they very likely use Hotmail accounts. But, Google knows all. sorry! pathetic.
You're supposed to say frist pr0st or something too. Get a clue.

I never understand why people see the need to use tinyurls and similar on Slashdot. It's fair enough in mail/news messages where you don't want to wrap long URLs on to another line, but that doesn't apply here. I don't see the point of the extra effort to create a tinyurl!

A good rule of thumb is that anyone in business using a mail drop is a crook. Hence, it is good policy to always check mail drops when dealing with suspect individuals. This case instantiates the class perfectly.
I received a spam about a very special domain names sale. I generated about 1000 fake addresses using these domain names on a web page, and put a link from my web page to this page, with a request for not using those addresses for any purpose. After two months or so the spammer mailed to me and asked if I could remove these as he was getting some spam to his unexisting domains, generating unnecessary traffic for him.
I just received news that thebulkclub.com has been erased from DNS records so for the script to work it needs to have the IP address (this still works):
:; do curl -o /dev/null http://64.78.42.11/benefits.asp; done

I guess this means they're trying to avoid a DDoS, but they'll have to move to another ISP if everybody bombs them using their IP.

They removed the DNS entry but the site is still available if you use the IP:

Their site seems to be kaput. How said.
Oh well, we all know they'll reconstitute themselves like the amoebas they are.
Let's offer them a new home page for next time around.
They can just feel free to save that as their index.html if they want. :-)
DO NOT LEAVE IT IS NOT REAL
I hate spam, but I'll tell you what I hate more. I hate murderous fucking criminals like the ass we have in office now. That unelected piece of shit is an insult to intelligence the world round. The Bush family is like the fucking mafia. For every bad thing that's happened since WW II, there was a Bush behind it, next to it, inside of it or just above it. I can't wait to get that fucker out of office. It will happen as long as his family doesn't rig the elections. AGAIN.

Seems to be working just fine.
I'm as fed up with virii as the next guy, but if someone were to write a virus that sent email to the addresses on this list and any other known spammer addresses that would be funny. I can see the media running with it.
speaking of viruses, there are viruses that harvest email addresses for propagation reasons, like Iluvyou which took from your contacts folder. Do you think there are viruses out there that harvest email addresses for marketing/spam reasons. Do a silent install, spreading not through email but through some other exploit (like msblaster), silent harvest and a silent send to some compromised servers with set up repositories perhaps on a web server. Then with proper cloaking and several nodes of filter go in and get the addresses every so often. It's not filling up peoples in boxes with virus-mail, it's not rebooting their systems, it would still slow the network down but only those running snort and other detection mechanisms would catch it. hmm. I bet you could package that in a freeware media player or some other pos shareware program with a license that says exactly this and charge money for the addresses. Then, instead of being the scum of the earth and going to jail, you'd be a hero like those bastards at brilliant digital and Gator and be legally protected. (lawmakers are so full of shit when they can't tell the difference between trojans and, well...trojans).
Anyway, now I'm really off topic, but the other thing I can't understand about viruses is why no one has created a virus that sends all of the messages in your inbox/sentbox to all of the recipients on your list. I bet there are lots of secrets people don't want going all over the place. Salary negotiations, love affairs, future lay-off plans, etc. Would suck in real life, but would be funny if it were fiction, like in a movie, that would be hilarious. I think I'll patent this idea, just to see if a patent on a virus is legal. haha. then if it ever happens (knowing I won't write it myself) I can sue everyone who has the virus for patent infringment ala sco. haha. I'll be RICH beyond all imagination.
wooo! hooo!
