Received spam today that leads to Vegas Slot Casino, (accredited, Mini Vegas Group) it's a redirect through tre.emv3.com, and it lands at www2.vegasslotcasino.com/ but oddly enough there is no affiliate ID attached to the url. Is there another way of tracking redirects I don't know about?
Clicking reply sends me to supportATvegasslotcasino.com, but all links in the mail are redirects through tre.emv3.com. A whois of the originating IP resolves to Emailvision and a further search turned up numerous reports of spam from the sites associated with tre.emv3.com, leading to other MVG casinos.
The lack of an affiliate ID leads me to believe this campaign is being run by the casino itself, or someone hired to do it for them. Nobody spams for free do they? Perhaps the forum rep would like to shed some light on this.
They did have my full name and email address, and I have never signed up at any Mini Vegas Group casino that I can remember.

emv3.com is a domain controlled by four nameservers at ns.emailvision.net. Some of them are on the same IP network. Incoming mail for emv3.com is handled by two mailservers at emv3.com themselves. They are on the same IP network. emv3.com has one IP number , but the reverse is www.emailvision.com. emv6.net and emv3.net point to the same IP and also shares both nameservers and mailservers. emv8.com, emv4.com, emv4.net, emv8.net, emv1.com and at least five other hosts point to the same IP and also shares nameservers. emv7.net, ccemails.net, cccampaigns.net and ccmdcampaigns.net point to the same IP and also shares mailservers. nmp6.com, emv5.com, emv5.net, emv2.net, nmp1.net and at least 31 other hosts point to the same IP. news.192.com and news.getgo.de share both nameservers and mailservers with this domain. emv5.com, emv7.com, emv9.net, emv2.com, emv2.net and at least 17 other hosts share nameservers with this domain. privats.net, dby.emv3.com, ccmdemail.net, dnse1.emv3.com, savourclub.net and at least 46 other hosts share mailservers with this domain. gw.emv3.com, ase.emv3.com, tre.emv3.com, fse.emv3.com, lb2.emv3.com and at least 39 other hosts are subdomains to this hostname. emv3.com is ranked #6164 world wide and is hosted on a server in France.
