email address but no routing number can you tell me anything about
this site or who to contact about the email it wasnt nice. email
adress was Jennifer@dilfseeker.com     I cant pull anything up on it
although I sent a reply and it went through? thanks Don I just want to
know where it originated and is this a company sending this to me or a
person?

Dear 500,

My research led me to the conclusion that the e-mail you recieved was,
without the slightest doubt, what is commonly known as Spam:
Unsolicited commercial bulk mail with often dubious background.

First, I looked at the website that I assumed would be most likely the
source of a such e-mail: http://www.dilfseeker.com/

It is, as I found out at first sight, a cheaply-made site ("Future's
Sex Links Web Cam Page") containing nothing but links to websites with
adult content. Had it been a reputable site, like an Internet provider
or an e-mail provider, it would have been possible that "Jennifer" was
the name of one customer using an e-mail service offered there. But in
this case, no private person could own an e-mail account provided by
"dilfseeker.com". Also, I can't imagine that an employee of
"dilfseeker" tried to personally contact you. Rather, "Jennifer" is a
fake name that should allure the recipients to visit the website.

How arcane the website "dilfseeker.com" is, is revealed by a search
using the NIC.com whois database for domain names. All domain name
registrants are obliged to reveal their actual contact information.
But for "dilfseeker.com", that data is very obviously nothing but a
clumsy fake:

Rev. Thomas Bandwidth
1029 High Bandwidth Blvd
Brooklyn, NY 21019

There is, of course, no "High Bandwidth Blvd" in Brooklyn or anywhere
else in the USA. And the existence of a "Reverend Thomas Bandwidth" is
also beyond any credibility. Just to make sure, I checked this through
the address search of the online phone directory Switchboard.com.
Result: No "High Bandwidth Blvd". It would take lots of detective work
to locate the real owner of the domain and the website.

There might be only one trace: The registrant's e-mail address, which
is according to the whois data: jcerqua@yahoo.com
But that might, of course, also be a fake. Only an expert hacker
could, if he is lucky, find out the person or organization behind all
that.

So what do we have? A web domain registered by someone using a fake
identity. A very cheesy website with adult links. And an e-mail
reportedly by one "Jennifer" who is allegedly in some way associated
with that website, but who is without any doubt nothing but a
fictitious person, a bait.

It is absolutely unlikely that your response will ever come to the
eyes of an actual human being, I'm afraid. But you can be sure that
you won't miss anything.

very nice answer No I was not hoping for a reply from this email I
just sent a reply to voice my anger I have a daughter and in this ad
the email said Hi dad come check this out! and it was a porn site
(thanks for your help)

500-ga,

From now on, I recommend that you be sure to delete these e-mails
without opening them, much less responding to them, and here's why:

1) E-mails can be programmed to notify the sender if they are even
just opened, which lets the sender know that they have a "live" e-mail
address.

2) Replying to such an e-mail also most likely just notifies the
sender that they have a "live" e-mail address.

In both cases, your e-mail address will be put onto lists of valid
e-mail addresses, and sold over and over again to spam marketers of
just about anything and everything, including porn.

The best advice I can give is: if you don't recognize the e-mail
address or name on something in your Inbox, DON'T open it -- delete it
IMMEDIATELY. Responding and asking them to stop sending you the spam
will just get you MORE SPAM.

Except for e-mails from known legitimate companies with whom you have
done business (for instance, I get a gardening newsletter from Lowe's
Home Improvement Stores, which always gives me the opportunity to
unsubscribe) **DON'T** fall for offers to "unsubscribe" you -- they
are almost always just another way to verify that you are a "live"
address so that you can be added to spammers' lists.

Yes, you may miss an occasional real e-mail that you actually *want*
to receive this way, but the risk of that is probably FAR outweighed
by all the spam you're going to start getting if you don't just delete
e-mails from unknown addresses.

If a friend asks you for your e-mail address so that they can send you
something, be sure to ask them for theirs as well, so that you can put
it on your "safe" list.

Best Wishes,

Interesting.  I looked this up just now at nic.com and got:

Registrant:
   Thomas Horton
   7336 Parkway Drive
   La Mesa, CA 91942
   US

   Registrar: DOTSTER
   Domain Name: DILFSEEKER.COM
      Created on: 23-FEB-03
      Expires on: 23-FEB-04
      Last Updated on: 08-JUN-03

   Administrative, Technical Contact:
      Horton, Thomas  jcerqua@yahoo.com

      US
      619-639-8230
      619-639-8230

However, the server one gets by looking up the domain finds that it is
hosted by notorious spammer Charles Charmatz. See
http://spews.org/html/S339.html for some additional info.

I agree with everything aceresearcher said regarding what to do (and
not do) with spam.

There are a variety of ways you can prevent spam from reaching your
inbox.  Some Internet Service Providers offer a spam filtering
solution, but most of these are not very good. My favorite is SpamCop
(http://spamcop.net/) - you have SpamCop pick up your mail, filter it,
then you retrieve the filtered mail from SpamCop.  I find it about 95%
effective in eliminating spam.  SpamCop also filters viruses.  I will
note that SpamCop is not aimed at the computer novice, but it is easy
to use and essentially invisible once you have it set up.

There are other solutions that run on your local PC - I haven't liked
any that I have tried.

Would it be possible for someone to visit this site and then email a
opening advertisement to me under the sites name? this still has me
puzzled I know everyone says it just spam what I cant figure out is it
said  hi dad check this site out, it was from a jennifer which is my
only daughters mothers  name.

500-ga,

The marketers who send hundreds of thousands of spam e-mails use a
"randomizing" type program that takes a HUGE list of names and subject
lines and mixes and matches them. This way, they are hoping that at
least SOME of the people who get a message from a certain name will
think that it MIGHT be from someone they know, and -- voila! maybe 1
in every 1,000 people will open the message, indicating that it is a
live e-mail address!

I can GUARANTEE you that that spam e-mail did NOT come from any
Jennifer you know.

Regards,

ace

Thank you all very much you all deserve much more than I can afford your great!!!
