What a shame for this affiliate to do such a thing..

Casino Titan or any of our affiliates have not sent this spam. We do not know who is responsible for sending those emails. And ofcourse we do not support it.

Here is the response we got after investigating this matter:

Our Spam and Abuse Team have reviewed this message and determined that the registrant of the CASINOTITAN.COM domain name is not responsible for sending this message.

It appears that the sender of this message may be intentionally implicating the registrant of CASINOTITAN.COM as the sender of this message. This is known as a "Joe Job" and is unfortunately becoming a common tactic used by spammers. A "Joe Job" is the act of forging a spam advertisement so that it appears to be from an innocent third party. The signature characteristic of a "Joe Job" is that the fields of the e-mail have been modified so that it looks as if a third party has sent the mail. The reason that these unscrupulous individuals are resorting to this tactic is because they are trying to conceal their identity and/or deflect the responsibility to an innocent party.

The term "Joe Job" originated from an attack on Joe Doll, proprietor of Joe's CyberPost (http://www.joes.com). The recipients of the forged e-mail messages, believing Doll had sent the spam, retaliated by attacking joes.com and disabling Joe's CyberPost for over 10 days. Hence the term "Joe Job" was coined.

More information on the "Joe Job" phenomenon can be found at the following sites:

You're joking, right?

So someone out there is spamming your casino for their own health?

Of course it's an affiliate spamming your casino. Who else would it be?

Here's an idea. Get the link that was being sent out in this spam, grab the affiliate's ID from this link, and shut them down.

And on another note, their email client simply said that whomever was sending it wasn't who they claimed to be, but that was for the address of Ada Gibbons <oregon.treasury@free-way.net> and has nothing to do with casinotitan.com.

Me and my wife have both been receiving Casino Titan spam for sometime.

Now that they are Baptism by Fire, I think this should be dealt with immediately:

This is definitely a spamming affiliate, and not the Casino. Many thanks to VWM on how to find this info.........

If I paste that url into my browser, it redirects me to Casino Titan with no affid on the end of the url. However, I went into FireFox's cookie file and this shows up in the cookie: affid453

[Dangerous53]

I guess the information wasn't all there to identify the affiliate.

Here is the full info from that redirect:

Host: download.casinotitan.com
Path: /
Casino ID: 289
gAID: 21818
subGid: 0
bannerID: 6929
affid: 453

Thanks for the heads up- we will take proper actions against this affiliate, as we do not support spam in anyway.

Dangerous53, Thanks for helping me with the "hunt" - the additional info you have provided is actualy what is needed in order to identify this affiliate.

Regards,

Paul.
