A Sandy Beach Almanac



You've landed at Sandy Beach, NSW, Australia: Lat. -30.15331, Long. 153.19960, UT +10:00 – local map & zoom Google map. I live in a cabin on this beach, 25 kilometres north of the traffic and shops of Coffs Harbour, 600 km north of Sydney. My intention is to post observations of Nature and life within 1 km (1,000 paces) of my South Pacific home.

Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. and Comments spam

I have been getting spam in my blog Comments from Energy and Asset Technology, Inc.

As a quick Google search of Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. found, this is one of many pages on the Net with press releases from Energy and Asset Technology, Inc and it has a name and address:

Energy and Asset Technology, Inc.
George McMillan
US: 561 620 4949
Australia: 617 5570 4500

as you can see here, they do put out a lot of press releases.

I don't know whether Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (selling timber products) and George McMillan exist, but if they do it looks like someone is trying to make George McMillan look like an unethical, creepy bastard who deserves to get Telephone spam from friends of blogging. But I doubt it's a real human being.

Then I searched Google on Energy and Asset Technology, Inc spammer

Then I found it's a Pump and Dump scam: "Did you know that all the 'share recommendations' and 'company investments' spams I have received have all been for the Pump & Dump scam, known in the U.K. as 'Share price ramping". It is a scam where the spammer buys cheap shares in a company, hypes up the share price based on spammed e-mails and bulletin board stories. Once the gullible have bought shares and caused the share price to rise, the spammer sells their shares at a profit."

Let's hope someone finds the spammer ... like the FBI.
