Comments on: New PayPal Spam Scam http://www.bruner.net/2004/07/23/new-paypal-spam-scam/ All Bruner, All the Time* Thu, 08 Jan 2009 23:11:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Allan http://www.bruner.net/2004/07/23/new-paypal-spam-scam/#comment-467 Allan Wed, 11 Aug 2004 14:05:49 +0000 http://bruner.docgonzales.com/?p=1169#comment-467 HI, I had the same thing happen to me. I was surprised to have received this in my Paypal account. When I did the research I found your Blog. I am not a spammer either, but I do notice people spoofing my email or email like mine in order to send spam. I even received the spam myself. I am very surprised that they were unable to get this bil posted on Paypal. I would have thought Paypal would have been more secure. I never received any notice from Paypal and I am peeved to say the least. I hope this new scam doesn't become popular where we see our Paypal accounts as targets for future fraud. Best Wishes, Allan HI,

I have received messages in the past with a footer that informs me that if I spam them, I must pay them a fee, or face a lawsuit. Odd thing is, they spammed me with offers and a stern warning about the terrible dangers I face if I spam them. I always write back offering them my crap, trinkets and folderol. Never got a bill. I figured that if they spam me, we have prior relationship. Spammers really can't complain about spammers, can they? Then again, I look forward to another fight of some magnitude, as it has been awhile. Bobbo I must say, they are getting clever, these scammers.

I've read it and I must say, you have shown more restraint in receiving the spam invoice, than I did when the notifications came to my e-mail box on Monday. (along with a couple thousand flame mails.) For the record, we have tracked down the disenfranchised employee who perpetrated the fraud. They will not be bothering you again. To answer your reader's questions, yes we are a real radio station and a real company. Possibly not the most glamorous business I'm sure, but we do provide adult audio entertainment, via the internet. We are licensed by the music associations of ASCAP, BMI and RIAA and play adult stories, music, comedy, and other programming via MP3 stream that is specifically designed to be accessible even on a slow or low rate, dialup connection. We gear our topics towards "Alternative Lifestyles" and in that we include gay, lesbian, bisexual, BDSM, fetish and polyamorous groups. Stop on by and have a little thrill ;-) Paul Coates Owner/CEO Signature Networks www.bondage-radio.com I just got a google alert by e-mail about your blog.

Phone number, too. Postmaster is generally an administrative account at a domain, the person in charge of email. Billing you for $200 is totally bogus, even if somehow you did break a Florida law, which I highly doubt. If I were you, I'd write directly to the owner of the place listed on their contacts page.

They offer free email using the bondage-radio.com domain, and so it's possible someone is using that as a front for their fraud. I suggest you contact, by email, someone at bondage radio and also at Paypal. http://www.bondageradio.com/contact.html Bondage-Radio is a real web site, billed as “The first fetish station on the web.” They offer free email using the bondage-radio.com domain, and so it’s possible someone is using that as a front for their fraud.
