My current desperate spammer is someone calling themselves Brett Jones at Smart Recruitment.
Not that smart, given they’ve had to buy a spammer list to send their daily batch of useless spam messages to us. Surely they should call themselves “Desperate Spammers”?
So I mentioned that this mob had used The Email Bureau to send some spam to one of my work email addresses.
Having failed to find a contact email address for them, I went onto Trustpilot to leave them a review:
Spam on the Menu?
They must be struggling, because why else would they decide to employ the services of those spammers, The Email Bureau Limited, to send me spam today?
Edit: I’ve emailed them a screenshot as they denied spamming me…
Edit: they’re now whining that the spam didn’t come from them, but they still fail to mention that it was their campaign, paid for my them, presumably? If not, are they suing The Email Bureau Limited? No, I didn’t think so…
They responded:
Update – Thanks for the screenshot Richard. I’m afraid this is not directly from us and you should pick this up with The Email Bureau to get them to take your name off their mailing list. I see you’ve provided a similar review re spam email to 3 other businesses and I wonder whether you are on a mailing list that you need to get delisted from. We haven’t emailed you directly and you are not on our email database so we cannot even remove/unsubscribe you.
Best wishes
Team Cookaway

At no time do “Team Cookaway” deny that this was their marketing campaign. The closest they get is the “we haven’t emailed you directly” bollocks. No, you paid someone else to, you bunch of fuckwits!
Well it looks like Damon Bennett’s little spammer has been busy recently, unlike his latest moribund company, The Consumer Leads Bureau, which is in the process of being stuck off.
Lots of shite from him and all – amazingly – from companies I will never use…
Still…
“Relax
The data is GDPR compliant.”
Is it? Is it REALLY?
This charming bunch of cunts have been spamming me for at least the last 15 years as a search on this site will show.
So today’s emails from them have amused me:
“Emailmovers Limited processes your information for direct marketing purposes, in the legitimate interest of itself and its clients…”
Nothing about my “legitimate interest” in not being added to their spammer database then.
You know it’ll be a great spam email when the subject line says “This isn’t spam! Amend your record for FREE NOW!!” (loving the double exclamation marks).
Oh yes, Acquirz Limited with its two directors Christopher Skinner and Russell Wilmot – who run a number of similar companies – sent me a couple of blatant spam messages in which they try to legitimise what they do … and fail miserably.
“You are receiving this email as we believe it may be relevant to you in your professional role and we believe your business will benefit.
“Your business and personal contact data has been collected from publicly available records such as websites and government records and combined with data from third-party data providers and is being processed on the basis of Acquirz’s legitimate interests and those of our data partners and customers.
“These interests include our direct marketing and sharing your data with our data partners and selling it to our customers for their business marketing campaigns. You can read more about these interests and how you can exercise your rights in our Privacy Notice.
“If you would like to opt out, please unsubscribe using the link below.

Acquirz Ltd”
So in other words they’ve either harvested the email addresses or bought a spam list from another spammer.
On their website they say “The opportunity and potential for Acquirz is awesome” whilst their last published accounts indicate that that’s clearly all unrealised!
One of the regular spammers I’m seeing these days is an outfit is someone calling themselves Properties4less.
Every day there seem to be new ones with desperate pleas to invest in some shithole, usually up North. Â The latest is Bristol though.
Typically for a spammer, their website is pretty blank as all the crap is in various pages with tracking details enabled.
Also typically, they lie:
“You have received this email because you have subscribed to Properties4less”
No, I really didn’t…
So I’ve been receiving regular emails from Aztec Events for ages now and most recently it’s their All About Dogs Show.
This is of absolutely no interest to me as a) I hate show ground events and b) I don’t have a dog. But that still doesn’t stop their interminable spam from flooding in.
These spammers have been sending me spam for some time now about property developments and investment opportunities and have tried their hardest to hide their tracks using register and dump domain names and websites with hidden backends.
I won’t say how I found who was behind the spam emails but it’s info@es1.co.uk (which again is a recent-ish registration).
They claim:
“ES1 is an Estate Agency specialising in the sale of residential units created by the experienced property developer Empire Property Concepts. Established in 2003, Empire is committed to producing highly sought-after accommodation in prime locations. It creates prestigious conversion schemes that breathe life into iconic buildings.”
More shite from marketing@uk1-multiwebmarketing.co.uk or should that be info@multiwebmarketing.co.uk perhaps?
Maybe Paul Smith isn’t sure himself?
