Suspicious spam e-mails originating in the US

This is just a shot in the dark. I have been receiving lots of spam emails coming rom the United states lately.

Sample info at the bottom of the last one:

1820 Avenue M #534
Brooklyn, NY 11230

ɪɴғᴏ@ᴘʀᴏғᴇssɪᴏɴᴀʟɪɴᴛᴇʀɴᴇᴛᴜᴛɪʟɪᴛɪᴇs.ᴄᴏᴍ

Or write to: 6101 Long Prairie Rd,Ste 744 #511, Flower Mound, TX, 75028I

I wonder if the InterNACHI email address files have ben hacked?
Thoughts?

That’s a PostNet store (like a UPS store). The email list you were on (probably still are on?) is an illegal spamming operation for a series of companies. I’ve been dealing with the perpetrators of it for several years now :frowning:

They advertise miracle cures for o load of things, from toe nail fungus to tinnitus, weight loss magical pills, casinos/online gambling and extended/home warranties…

Please share if you did manage to get off their list!! Or if you found out any more about how you got onto the spam list.

Also note: Writing to the postal addresses given won’t have any good effect. The mailing stores this spammer used the address of are not involved in the spammer’s campaign. They are being victimized though, since they get a lot of negative reviews from people who think their business is involved. Another address commonly used is 6130 W Flamingo Rd Las Vagas NV - a PostalAnnex store. I spoke to the store manager and he’s so fed up of it but cannot do anything of course.

If you are still getting the spam, there are some things you can do to make the spammer’s life harder though. The actions don’t take too long and they reduce the effectiveness of the criminal’s efforts Let me know if you want some tips on that and I’m happy to help.
