I’ve decided to start naming and shaming the people who spam me. I have an email address hidden in the code of one of my web sites. It doesn’t display to visitors but robots will read it. To give the spammers a sporting chance, the email address is nospam@….mydomain… I then email them to ask where they got the address from.
Their response to asking where they got the email address from?
sales@paramountbathrooms.com – asked twice, they never responded.
Observations
Their third spam email actually used someone elses domain (A foreign exchange business) as the sending address. I suspect that was an error rather than deliberate.
However, they are using multiple domain names to send the emails, probably so the spam filters don’t associate the main domain name with the spam they are sending. You can see them using tradeonlyfurniture.com and parabath.asia

And even after asking twice where they got the email address from they continue. Obviously I’m being too subtle.
