is allowed to stay on. Their lists, which are guaranteed to have been harvested from the PubMed, do not meet ExactTarget’s professed anti-spam policy in any way. They’ve been there at least since April 2017.

A blog entry on Nobleresearch.org (predatory publisher recognized by the Beall’s List for three years already) was prompted by a comment on our “who are these people” page by Aleksandrs V, representative of the Latvian ESP Mailigen.com who are currently providing services to this spammer.

Needed a separate headline, but all is documented in the earlier European Colorectal Congress 2015 post. The AGB, specifically Section 8, 3.3.a, 3.4 and 3.6, are not worth the toilet roll they have been printed on.

The address list used by Kenes Group has all the hallmarks of being derived from the PubMed.
We’ve been watching Aviva Systems Biology (avivasb.com, avivasysbio.com) spam for longer than the SciSpam DNSBL has even existed. Up until recently, they were doing so exclusively from their own network, but their recent choice to hire what we think ought to be a whitehat ESP to do this for them prompted us to blog about it.
Last week, a Robert S. Siegel (profile on Uni website) sent out Scientific Spam through the ESP Constant Contact, asking recipients to Join [Him] at GW’s Hematology & Medical Oncology Best Practices.
