WFTBucks Spamming my Eurorevenue email! - GoFuckYourself.com

jigg · 07-26-2012, 12:30 PM

Helen the Spammer is at it again.

Just got another email from WTFBucks this time they are spamming one of my email addresses that was only used for Eurorevenue! It's kind of obscure and unless I gave it out nobody would know it existed

2012 · 07-26-2012, 12:33 PM

i heard they'll buy your domain and let you put a blog on it, further allowing you to build it up at no cost to you

ShoeBox · 07-26-2012, 12:33 PM

sweet i want the domain wtfbuckssux

Nicky · 07-26-2012, 01:26 PM

Well, I can guarantee that we here at EuroRevenue don't have anything to do with this. They must have found the email some other way.

Barefootsies · 07-26-2012, 03:25 PM

They are not the first, nor will be the last.

Switch to decaf.

u-Bob · 07-26-2012, 03:50 PM

Did the email include a reference to the site you listed when you joined eurorevenue?

Freedom6995 · 07-26-2012, 04:11 PM

I got two emails from wtfbucks. One from Helen and one from someone else that doesn't speak English all that well, and I've never signed up for Eurorevenue.

Freaky_Akula · 07-26-2012, 04:27 PM

They must be buying or hacking affiliate databases. I have received a lot of spam from Helen and every email went to an email address I used for another affiliate program.

Given that I've been getting their spam as well and always sent to addresses I used to join other programs, I guess you are right.

I always use a unique email address for every program I join. I never use that address for anything else. Those unique addresses each contain a unique random number or string so it's impossible they just guessed the addresses. And in the case of for example the spam they sent to the addresses I used to join niceratios and lordsofporn, they also mentioned the exact sites I listed in my profile when I joined those programs.

BaldBishop · 07-26-2012, 06:39 PM

Yes, their spam campaign is starting to get very annoying.

Konda · 07-26-2012, 07:01 PM

They probably used a hole in an old version of Nats 3 to gather the email addresses.
Probably not them, but the guy they bought the data from.

adultchatpay · 07-26-2012, 07:20 PM

I got this email few days ago:

Hello!

Helen here from WTFbucks.com. I found your contacts at www.friendster.com.
I hope our program will be interesting for you and if you haven't tried to promote our reality sites before, it's time to start!
WTFBucks offers different programs, different site tours, and we make special conditions for our webmasters.

All detailed info is represented at our official website: WTFBucks.com. But all special terms are discussed only in private.

For you I can offer +100 bucks to your first payment. That will be pleasant addition to your earnings, don't you think so?
The only thing you need to do: start working with WTFBucks and let me know this code: E9lrl14Apw when the time come to your first payment.

Don’t hesitate and hit me: ICQ: 623-293-xxx or Skype: Helen.WTF

Regards,
Helen

Wtf, i don't even have a friendster account. lol

iwantchixx · 07-26-2012, 07:33 PM

try to find an unsubscribe, if none exists, hit them with a canspam complaint. If they do have one and do not honor it, hit them again with a canspam complaint. Although that will do little to deter those who thinks it's an "acceptable" practice to do these types of spams .. it gets something started anyways and if enough people file complaints, they will get fined heavily.

I actually abandoned my previous primary email account last year because of program spam. It got entirely out of hand. Up to 500 emails a day at the end of it.

DamianJ · 07-27-2012, 03:39 AM

If they spam webmasters like this, imagine the horror of being a customer...

I also just received one of their spam mails sent to my eurorevenue address and it mentions the site I have in my eurorevenue profile.

You are missing the point. The important issue here is not that spam (which is annoying but can be dealt with), but the fact that those spammers have access to the info affiliates supplied when they joined other affiliate programs.

So as others pointed out, there are 2 possibilities. Either they bought the dbs from those affiliate programs or they hacked the dbs.

In this case, Nicky said Eurorevenue has nothing to do with it and Nicky has always been a straight shooter. So the question becomes: did the spammers hack a few affiliate programs? Did the spammers buy the info from people who hacked into a few affiliate programs? If the spammers or the people they bought the info from hacked into those affiliate programs, how did they get in? Is there another bug in NATS that can be exploited to gain access to affiliate profiles or did they gain access in another way? If they gained access in another way, what kind of access did they manage to get?

2MuchMark · 07-30-2012, 08:51 AM

We received the email too.

Freaky_Akula · 07-30-2012, 08:54 AM

If the program did not sell your address, but the spammer has access to that information, we should assume the program has been compromised.

Matyko · 08-06-2012, 09:20 AM

Nicky · 08-06-2012, 09:24 AM

I'll be looking into this more. We have not sold any affiliate email lists etc.

Matyko · 08-06-2012, 09:27 AM

hey eurorevenue! please make a post ASAP about the OP: how they got that address? They are now spamming my private primary address

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

DamianJ · 08-06-2012, 11:21 AM

It's clear they are either hacking, or buying data from someone who has hacked.

Eitherway, means they went onto my shitlist some time ago.

If they got the emails, and the URL people used when they sign up to a program, perhaps they also got names, addresses and payment details.

Maybe they can even modify the info.

She got the contact for me from a site that hasn't been up in about 5 years.

Sure.

Yup. Some DB was hacked. Emailed me about a site that has no direct email or my name on it. It was actually a big TGP I used to run. Interesting how this is working out.

Konda · 08-06-2012, 08:13 PM

Seems like multiple Nats 3 databases were compromised. They probably didn't patch their shit in time.

I just received the same message referencing the domain name that I don't market anywhere. But if an affiliate is following dirty tactics to get emails there is no telling what they'll do. Being sneaky this way makes me not want to sign up.

Dirty F · 09-05-2012, 01:24 PM

This is quite big. They should be sued.
Can't believe they are still allowed to spam their shit here every other day. They are criminals.
And the fucked up part is they act as if they did nothing wrong and continue business as usual.

I read that thread. Not sure what you are trying to point out?

Freaky_Akula · 09-05-2012, 02:03 PM

Out of all the program owners that got hacked, xxxjay made the most noise, but in the end no one will sue those thieves.

London Banker · 09-05-2012, 02:14 PM

so did they somehow hack into the NATS database? or did they hack each program individually?

ShoeBox · 09-05-2012, 02:51 PM

they never defined if they hacked or bought the accounts so they probably did hack them
