Has anybody else received this in thier email? Is it a Warrior Spamming members??

[bryce]

Hi guys,

I just received this email in my inbox.....

Hi There,

I saw that you posted on warrior’s forum, one of my favorites for quite sometime. Its an neat forum to read about internet marketing and diversity your knowledge in many fields.

As a newb, I’ve spent numerous days learning and reading about various techniques and purchased quite a few wsos and tried to apply them. With that said, it seemed that my internet income wasn’t really widening by much. I was making hardly a few bucks here and there, working on SEO promotion, and affiliate commission game, but I genuinely lacked the final results and guidance. I wanted to do a lot of stuff, but didn’t know where to start out.
I feel that with a lot of the techniques and methods, and wsos there are a few problems, and that is:

1) Free Methods get supersaturated very
2) Not nearly sufficient instruction is given
3) Some guys who sell wsos are just copying other marketers, and do not genuinely supply any crucial knowledge that could be applied to further our own money making, and in it just for the income that they will make selling their product.


Well, I’m happy to say that I think I’ve found a great forum that resolves a lot of the problems brought up above, and wanted to share it with a couple of struggling warrior forum members.

Now this forum was created by a couple of guys that are crafty when it comes to getting ahead in internet marketing field. These marketers are well known in the underground, and know precisely what newbies are struggling with and how to assist them and that is:

1) Video Tutorials outlining every step in execution of working, verified and money making methods. And there are a mountain of them on a large range of subjects. Any newbie or an advanced marketer will be able to follow the precise directions and start out making money right away.
2) Advanced tutoring assistance by 100s of forum members on methods not available anywhere else. All the forum owners with years and years of experience will support you with any questions you might have.
3) Tools that are worth 100s of dollars somewhere else, procurable for free to forum members. Plus selective items, designed by programmers employed by forum creators, and absolutely genius.


This forum isn’t free, but everyone should join for 7 days free of charge(100% refund guarantee, no questions asked) and check out the value provided and judge for themselves. I’ve done the same myself, and been a paying member for about 6 months now. In these 6 months, my income has developed from about 500 to $ 7500/month and I can honestly say that I finally quit my corporate job and hopefully will never go back.

So, do yourself a favor and check them out at:
Dominatem dot info

Regards,
Kingo

and was wondering if anyone else here had received the same thing? The site link surely takes you to Inside information on the DominateIM membership site and after you are asked for your name and email address, click register and you are asked for a subscription amount of nearly $100.

Any comments?? I hope its spam because this was my response

Where did you harvest my email from? I am assuming the Warrior Forum...

You know, this is the crap that gives IM a bad name. You send me this email telling me about some forum that has done wonders for you in getting your income up to $7500 a month, and yet you still need to spam people to earn more referral commissions. Maybe this is how you make your money each month, but personally, I would rather sleep easy at night knowing the $4000 a month I am earning is providing value and not BS.

Do you really think that I am going to join any forum that again "harvests" my email address before even telling me what the price is, and then asking me for nearly $100 a month based on some pathetic testimonials on a landing page?

I am now going to post this email and these details up on WF to warn others about what you are doing.

Good Luck with your endeavours

Thanks Bryce

Hi There,

I saw that you posted on warrior’s forum, one of my fav’s for quite sometime. Its an impressive forum to read about internet marketing and expand your knowledge in many fields.

As a newb, I’ve spent many days learning and understanding about different techniques and purchased quite a few wsos and attempted to utilize them. With that said, it seemed that my internet income wasn’t really broadening by much. I was making hardly a few bucks here and there, working on SEO promotion, and affiliate commission game, but I really lacked the results and direction. I wanted to do a lot of stuff, but didn’t know where to begin.
I found out that with a lot of the techniques and methods, and wsos there are a few problems, and that is:

1) Free Methods get saturated very

3) A few guys who sell wsos are just copying other marketers, and do not sincerely supply any crucial knowledge that could be implemented to further our individual money making, and in it just for the small that they will make selling their product.


Well, I’m happy to say that I think I’ve found a forum that settles a lot of the problems brought up above, and wanted to share it with a few of struggling forum members.

Now this forum was created by a couple of marketers that are ingenious when it comes to getting onward in internet marketing game. These marketers are well recognized in the underground, and know exactly what newbs are struggling with and how to aid them and that is:

Yes, I got the same one today.

Just deleted it though - with the contempt it deserves.

Have had a few PM's recently too, trying to get me to buy through an aff link.

Sent those to Help Desk.

Do these idiots not know that [almost] all WF members will not be interested in their spammy stuff?

Karen

[JeffMitchell]

I got er this morning....pain in the @$$....I still can't believe that people go this route and think that it is going to work. Reminds me of the old AOL days when people would just take mass amounts of aol addy's and send out promo messages.

All it takes is one or two and they've got their extra $100-$200 a month, which may make it worthwhile for them to spam.

[Paul Myers]

Send copies of the emails, including full headers, to abuse@svwh.net and abuse@dominateim.com - Point out that the spam promotes the DominateIM program, and uses a redirect. Suggest that they find out which affiliate this is, and take steps to stop future abuse by that affiliate.

Be polite. If this really is an affiliate spamming, they may not have anything to do with it. SVWH will be in a position to make that call. We're not.

I've had a chat with dominatem.info's host's upstream this morning. They assure me that the host is generally very responsive about dealing with errant customers. That creates only a minor irritant for a dedicated spammer, though. Contacting the affiliate program operator about the issue is more likely to get their attention. If his commissions aren't paid because he spammed, that might motivate young Mr Davydov to find other targets.

BTW, if anyone here knows Samir Davydov, you may want to encourage him to forage elsewhere...

[RobinSkeen]

Yep, got the same one. I actually opened it before I realized what it was. Is this automatic harvesting? I don't understand how that can be done as my e-mail is not listed. So, this would be a lot of work for someone to go into each profile and find the information. Idjits.

<edit> My email is listed. Or it WAS - just removed. Anyone wanting to contact me can use the PM function if they really really want me.

I've got the same email today but if you look closely you see that its send by a different person everytime

Hi There,

I saw that you posted on warrior�s forum, one of my fav�s for quite sometime. Its an impressive place to read about internet marketing and broaden your knowledge in many fields.

I found out that with a lot of the techniques and methods, and wsos there are a few problems, and that is:

1) Free Methods get saturated quickly

Dan,

Yep. That's why you go after their affiliate checks, rather than just their hosting.

[Neromancer]

The crazy thing about this is that they could easily build
a massive email list of warriors by actually advertising
ON the Warrior Forum, What gives here?

[Lou Diamond]

Hello,
yes I received it as well,it smelled like spam even before I opened it.

[timpears]

I feel left out because I have not received this offer. At least I don't think I have. I don't read all of my email, so could have missed it real easy. But I was just thinking, what fool would spend $100 a month on a forum membership that condones SPAM, when they are members of the Warrior Forum that asks $37 for a life membership, and even then will let you read almost everything for free for as long as you want to. It took me over a year to cough up that $37. This place is the biggest collection of knowledge on internet marketing that I have ever seen, and much of it is free.

[Owen Mailer]

hey guys i do Im for a hobbie and am a pest control officer in the uk to trade
Let me at emmmm!!!!!! lol

[competitive]

Yes I got this aswell.

[Alminc]

I got 2 spam messages during the last three weeks that are
selling some software for mass PM sending. Obviously they
use that software to send such PMs.

I just deleted the sh*t .

Absolutely right Karen and good move sending the PM's to Help Desk. This would mean that there is an "insider" doing this??

hahaha good move! I am happy to leave mine there for now - I have had no more mail from them and if I do it is easy to handle it accordingly.

Check out Pauls message above, and it would be cool if you send them like he suggests to the relevant people

Thanks for the input

yes this is right, I have received another (shortly after the first) but one was dropped into Spam folder. Do what Paul suggests and send the emails and headers off to the sites mentioned. This may bring some great results.

I am really upset about this - here is why.

The same time yesterday:

History:

I leave the forum in a browser tab all waking hours 12-18 hours every day. I have noticed from time to time I will come back to the forum to find myself in a sub-forum or thread that I hadn't been to at all that day or ever.

I always chalked it up to hitting the wrong key or something accidentally and not knowing it. However yesterday, I came to find myself deep in the subdirectories of my private messages - in fact on my saved sent messages on page 3.

NO WAY could I have accidentally hit the exact sequence of keys to get in there without knowing and in fact had not been in private messages AT ALL yesterday.

OK so someone seems to be logging in at the same time as I am using my ID - I downloaded my confidential messages, and deleted them in the PM system, and changed my password.

NOW WITH THIS SPAM WE ALL RECEIVED:

I do not EVER use my email address in a post without using (AT) or mailto: because of the bots.
(someone may prove me wrong I hope - no time to check Google to see if this statement is 'written in stone') but it seems to me at this point that:

THE ONLY WAY THESE PEOPLE COULD GET MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS FROM MY PROFILE.

So it may be ghosts and goblins - and I may be a paranoid whack job, however, I am behind 2 firewalls and have a router as well as good security with root kit, etc. - this weird stuff never happens except in the forum (where someone else is moving around to pages I have not gone to).

I am going to run some files that Thom from the WF helpdesk sent none the less.

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php

http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/de...kthis/download


Be on guard for these freaks as this hack may be more than an email harvesting spambot...

[Paul Myers]

Well, that domain is down. Let's see how long it stays down...

I noticed that the abuse@ address for the affiliate site doesn't work. Send it there anyway. If they don't have a standard address for reporting problems, they deserve the hassles they get from it.

Patricia,

Definitely check your computer for malware. That kind of change in your browser is the result of something happening on your end. Either something has got control of it, or someone else in your house is messing with it.


Paul

[Colin Palfrey]

I have never posted my email address on WF but also received this email.
I got it on an email that contains my name as apposed to my actual registered WF email.

Don't know if this info helps any,
Colin

LOL I live alone Paul. Unless there is some doppleganger thingy here that I can't see, it is not possible.

I am going to run those programs Thom sent but I am still in denial - not like I want it to be something in the forum, but I reeeeeeally don't want it to be on my PC. I will freak out if it finds somethng. Will sleep with the light on.

UPdate: Nothing tremendous found by malwarebytes - a few adware and a couple registry key things that disabled security notifiers. looks like my system is clean now.

will have to see if the spook comes back again but if not will not know if it is gone because i changed my forum password or ran the malware cleaner ... if it does start again, i will have the hijackthis log analyzed since I have no clue how to read it. Thanks to Thom and Paul!

If there's no-one else in the house, there's something compromised on your system. That's the only explanation I can think of, and it fits.

Ignoring that possibility is dangerous, if you have any information on your machine or going through your connection that you don't want someone else to have. I strongly recommend getting Norton Internet Security and installing it. Download it, and cold reboot into safe mode, with your Internet access turned off. Install the software and run a scan.

Restart the system, turn on the Internet access, and download any updates and run the scan again.

Yes, I know. Norton used to suck. It was a major resource hog, and not all that useful anyway. It's changed. A lot. NIS is the best security suite I've ever used.
