ISaMed Journals
http://flakyj.blogspot.com/2017/06/isamed-journal-of-forensic-science.html – and they’re spammers, too, of course. Listed the domains; spamming happens through Web.com relays in 209.17.115, listed since November 2014 for Jacobs Publishers.
Professor Vincenzo Piuri, Università degli Studi di Milano
We do not support Vincenzo Piuri for IEEE president. We also regret having had to list the IP address and domain name of his alma mater, but that happens when you do not react to complaints of abuse.
The original spam and complaint happened in mid-May 2017.
Repeat spam in earlier today, no responses to the May complaint, so we listed the sending organization.
Another regrettable listing: Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria
The domain name of the Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria, is now listed. The following spam appeared on July 28, 2017.
From: EECS 2017 <[email protected]> To: x Subject: European Conference on Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Bern, Switzerland, November 17-19, 2017

Fastest shortcut to getting listed by us: spam us directly (iaras.org)
Dear Professor
Um, but of course, even if rocket dot scientists at scientificspam dot net have never published any scientific work as themselves…
We would like to invite you to submit an invited paper in our peer-reviewed open-access journal:
International Journal of Environmental Science

Suppose that’s all we need to know of you.

ResearchPromotion.com is ScienceDomain is IK Press
Based on recent spam, it is becoming clear that ScienceDomain International Ltd, IK Press and ResearchPromotion.com are in fact one and the same.
Happy Belated Birthday, Sci Spam
Just a quick note to thank you all. Last year the daily figures were in the two million range for the IP DNSBL. We’re seeing slightly over double that these days. The domain name list is being queried even a little more than that, and the trend is clearly a growing one. Monthly totals are approximately 120M for both these days, in January and February.
