Hey more4me – Are you still receiving the Fortune spam? If so, could you please forward them to me at winyourwager(at)gmail.com – I’m having the same problem & am working on a solution to solve this. Thanks! – Erik

I’m getting them too. To be honest, I’ve always received Fortune spam. Always have, probably always will.

I’m sick & tired of it. Not only the spam, but the lack of help, despite my countless attempts to end this problem civilly. They (the spammers & Fortune) think they can avoid getting in any trouble since these spammers use some clever tactics. They are wrong. I have been compiling not only the spam I’ve received over the last 5 months (somewhere around 4,500), but also info. from spam reporting message boards & other sources. This Fortune spam is a very widespread problem. I have a package of info. that I’m prepared to forward to Ecogra, Microgaming, the FCC & their Registrars, that will make sure this ends quickly. My advice… shut down the spammers account quickly, Fortune. – Erik

Yes, I’ll be following through w/ reporting this problem. I gave them more than enough time to shut the spammers down & they haven’t.

I not only get spam for FA properties, someone over at Platinum Play sold my email address sometime back. It was specific to their property (as all my emails are). A few emails back and forth with FA, but never a resolution or really any resolve on their part to find the problem.

I dumped their properties at that point other than some old links.

Can someone more technically-minded than myself give some advice on how we can make moves to getting Fortune’s spammy domains shut down?

For example, this is the info I can get for 7-sultans.com

Domain Name: 7-SULTANS.COM
Registrar: REGISTER.COM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.register.com
Referral URL: http://www.register.com
Name Server: NS2.OLGDNS.COM
Name Server: NS3.OLGDNS.COM
Status: clientDeleteProhibited
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Updated Date: 10-jun-2007
Creation Date: 09-jul-1999
Expiration Date: 09-jul-2008

Should we be going to register.com – as a group of us – to complain and ask for the domain to be shut down?

Marvyn, I would love to be able to take you at your word. Really, I would. But I can’t.

Fortune have been associated with spam for as long as I’ve been in this business. You know that. I know that. Pretty much everyone here knows that.

I’ve discussed this face to face with you guys at meetings and conferences throughout the years and it’s always been a case of a nod and wink that “yeah, we know – but we’re gonna carry on doing it.”

It cleared up for a while but it’s back and as bad as ever. It’s either coming from Fortune, an affiliate or a media buy. Any case isn’t hard to fix.

Let’s see what happens but I ain’t holding my breath.
