However, it needs to be verified, but the exe was flagged two times (we thought unfairly – at first – as there are the banking system which communicates with a server), and a dialer has been found. But as I said, this information needs to be verified.
If anyone runs into some viruses/ likely malware through these emails please send them to me. Most valuable piece of education, I love looking at these. greek39
Just received another identical spam.
Laurent, you know I get on well with you but this is now taking the piss. It’s making our industry look like the unethical crap reptuation we’re often tarnished with. And it’s your casinos that are involved.
I think it is very near time for Dominique to bring forth the damning info.
I think its about time to contact Go Daddy and ULTRA DNS, both used by CP and Vegas Red… I remember last year FA having problems with spam, the provider stepped in and all their domains weren’t reachable for days… Maybe CP needs something like it to wake up!!!
Go Daddy and ULTRA DNS have both Anti-Spam policys, and they will honor them! Not like CP what is writing big about their Anti-Spam policy on their website but don’t do a damn about it… looks like they just go for the spammer and the players he brings in…
They’re now coming in thick and fast to loads of my e-mail addresses.
I take it as a personal slap in the face if CP allow this affiliate to keep commission and remain as an affiliate. Laurent, how much respect do you have for your customer base?
As of yesterday this group of affiliate isn’t part of our group. What you see today is probably the remaining of what was sent yesterday.
Thank you Laurent.

Why were they ‘part of your group’ to begin with? You HAD to know what they were doing.

I agree. Whilst Laurent is to be applauded in removing this affiliate, it has to be said that it took FAR too long to act on this. Casino Partners’ reputation, the reputation of CP’s attitude towards spam and – most importantly – the reputation of online casinos in the eyes of thousands and thousands of potential customers has been irreparably damaged.
When people find out what I do for a living, often their first question is “Oh! Do you send me all that spam then?”
Now we know why. Because it’s allowed to go on for far too long.
For what it’s worth, I was getting them in this morning.
I’ll keep an eye out for more.
As i explained in a previous email, those emails origniated from a few campaigns that were managed by a third party agency that our media arm was dealing with. This agency managed a lot of campaign for us over the last few years and the spam issue came up only recently.
Our group has cut ties with this agency.
Laurent

vjmedcheck out my last post here to discover who really is behind this so called “advertising agency”:
http://gamblingguards.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=113are you trying to tell that you guys working over years with an marketing agency what is using absolutly illegally methods?
-like hiding their true identity,
-modifying header informations and stuff,
-sending e-mails using hijacked computers and
-hosting sites on hijacked servers?
-Registering hundreds of domains within days, using fake registration informations for those domains like:-Central Intelligence Agency
-United States Agency for International Development
-Environmental Protection Agency
-Food Standards Agency
-Radiocommunications Agency
-Air Fresh Technologies
-Slando Investment
-Soronte Vine Shop
-African Souvenir Store
-African and Asian Accessories
-Saltero Pizza
-fashist
just to name a few out of a few hundred…OK, you said CP cut ties with this company, do you mind revealing the name and information on this so called “advertising agency”? Maybe some guys are interested to get them known, allone the modified e-mail headers are a serios crime…. just not to think about using open relays to send their spam e-mails and hosting their sites on hijacked servers….
This “advertising agency” is not really an real agency… isn’t it?
I just post a part of my post here, you can read the full story here:
http://gamblingguards.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=113……Now, this guys there are no rookys when it comes to spam, they ping the servers, trace the IP’s and doing all kinds of stuff to discover things… Then they monitor the servers and providers…. First they go the usual way, contacting the providers and registrars and stuff, but in cases like this it not really works…
Pretty fast was clear that this Hi Roller Spam had his point of orgin probably at the top 3 of the worlds worst spammers: Alex Blood, Michael Lindsay and Leo Kuvayev…. Thats basicly the creme dela creme of the internationally spam business… read more about this guys at Spamhaus.org: http://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/spammers.lasso
Here is how those guys shut down the Hi-Roller Casino Domains within hours….
They use a tool called …….http://gamblingguards.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=113
What about all the other spam e-mails what are using another template of yours, (Casino Tropez) This e-mails are also still comming in!!! Did you guys just cut ties with the “advertising agency” for the english speaking contrys?
I mean It shure looks this way if I now get the same e-mails, same messages, same advertisements only to my .de e-mail adresses all in german??? Is this some kind of tactic to use .com domains for the english laguage market and .info domains for the german market?

If you download the software you download it from a seperate domain: qqcapol.info
Both domains are registered at the same time like all the hundred other ones,
qqcapol.info 19-Jun-2006
greentable-de.info 19-Jun-2006both are registered to:
Registrant Name: Private Person Private Person
Registrant Organization: Private Person
Registrant Street1:Post Office Box 301763The following domains I discovered doing a reverse IP check, all are setup the same using the “green table” template (Casino Tropez)
3,804 Domains for 221.206.5.51 (Greentable-de.info)
Most of this 3.800 domains are setup for selling fake luxury watches, another spam business I myself and a few million other internet users receive advertising e-mails for almost daily…. but on this server are also setup a few domains for green table casino (Casino Tropez):casincasa.info Created On:26-Apr-2006 Affiliate ID: hm44bu
cazinoplay.info Created On:23-Jun-2006 Affiliate ID: hm44bu
greenplay.info Created On:02-Jul-2006 Affiliate ID: hm44bu
game-star.info Created On:10-Jul-2006 Affiliate ID: omega
casino-greentable.info Created On:13-Jul-2006 Affiliate ID: hm44bu
casino-grtable.info Created On:13-Jul-2006 Affiliate ID: hm44bu
all of the domains download the software from casincasa.infosome of this domains were also used already back in may for spamming, mostly in the german market…. I don’t think I need to post all the info when and how they were spammed here too, it should be enough to get the picture….
The spamming for Vegas Red stopped about three days ago, now it seems to start again….
Actually in my opinion it didn’t really stop, there were just different e-mail lists used and the amount of emails sent was decresed….
Laurent, it would be nice to get an honest explanation here!
