Hi Roller Casino - Vegas Red - spammy deceptive affiliate?

**GrandMaster** · 16th July 2006, 04:54 PM

I got a very similar one from yancey.tedn4r@gmail.com

Dear client.,
OUR CASINO:
* 24-hour support
* LIVE DEALERS & Fast Downloads
* Hi Roller Cassino is one of the oldest and most established online cassino.
* Several options that allow you to control the playing environment
http://www.geocities.com/synderc8a/
Knowledgeable and helpful 24/7 phone and
live chat support team

These morons are also spamming me on a work e-mail address that they could only have harvested from the web.

Yes, it's CasinoPartners, and they've been contacted also. Haven't heard back from them because it's the weekend.

Not to burst anyone's bubble but that's only one of dozens of registrars. Several of these go back to highroller themselves, which tells me that vegasred exists solely to spam people.

Here's a list of domains I've been tracking on this one:

http://abellmall.com
http://adminleg.com
http://almostthough.com
http://bandssports.com
http://bigclubs.com
http://brianwallner.com
http://broadbandonce.com
http://brokenservice.com
http://brokenwireless.com
http://casinoclean.com
http://crmapp.com
http://dregastero.com
http://ewcnss.com
http://familyrollcall.com
http://gumelo.com
http://legadmin.com
http://losingourhomesoon.com
http://marketbroken.com
http://maxsumner.com
http://networkonce.com
http://obister.com
http://privacytell.com
http://resurrectionmanor.com
http://sometimescant.com
http://sometimestell.com
http://uveltord.com
http://wegast.com
http://wirelessonce.com
http://zdasot.com
http://opudes.com <- the most recent one spammed using a geocities domain.

Every single one of them is hosted in different locations, with distinct DNS, etc.

Here's the whois for the first domain in that list:

Note the name server host...

Casinopartners has not responded to any of the numerous requests I made to investigate this issue. They are certainly aware of it, but appear to be choosing not to do anything about it or communicate their alleged progress on this issue to anyone.

Thought I'd contribute to this thread since this is the only legitimate forum I could find where it was being discussed.

I lost a family member to a gambling related suicide last year and the fact that I continue to receive these spams is insulting in the extreme. I certainly would NEVER sign up for these emails but these spammers don't care.

Anyway there it is. If anyone has any idea how we can shut these morons down I am all ears.

Maybe if Casino Partners started getting voice calls from many pi$$ed off spamees, they might start doing something about it.

I have forwarded one email... However, I am giving them 1 week to clean it up. After that WE should all forward the SPAM mails to CP. Flood THEIR inboxes for a change.

I've just been in formed that the evil affiliate(s) accounts have been closed, and that the spam mails should come to a halt.

I wonder which casino the spamster will choose to promote next

**spearmaster** · 18th July 2006, 05:47 PM

Nice post, ezlxq, and welcome to Casinomeister!

So evil affiliate account "closed" - uh huh. I know I've heard this before elsewhere... LOL... I sure hope Casino Partners really meant what they said.

**winbig** · 18th July 2006, 08:01 PM

Just checked one of the domains that was up yesterday and was sent to a domain placeholder, so it's looking good so far
