Ken Magill has another article up on EmailAppenders.1
I find the “Devin Juan”/”Prakash Kotian” angle interesting. This person is writing to people reporting on the EmailAppenders/Javelin Marketing incident, trying to get articles critical of EmailAppenders removed.
The emails quoted in the article are also interesting because they appear to make some accusations that may be related to the dispute between EmailAppenders and Javelin Marketing. Namely, the “person who promoted this press release is already black listed and cheated many people” part.
Now, perhaps Juan/Kotian was referring to some insurance/annuity industry blacklist that I know nothing about. But, one typical result of spamming (as Javelin appears to have done, at least as a result of the list purchased from EmailAppenders) is being listed on DNSBLs. That’s a practice commonly referred to as “blacklisting”. This may mean that EmailAppenders are using the result of the use of their list to denigrate their dissatisfied customer.
