A Follow up Mystery on Poor 'jackass'!

Something funny going on here! The domain name 'wallasasa.com' was "Created On: 24-Jul-2007 00:00:00" according to Whois.

Now is this a coincidence? Created on the same day as my original post about jackass@wallasasa.com? Did someone decide to get a domain name that seems to already be out there? Did poor jackass@wallasasa.com just make up the email address so he/she could spam websites? The mystery deepens!

The biggest question for me is why would anyone want a domain name associated with a spammer? Did poor jackass decide to make his email address legitimate at last? Why would he as it would finally lead a trail back to his infinite spamming?

Ah, who knows what wallasasa.com will eventually become? Or will it be just another domain parked somewhere in cyberspace? Burning questions not but it does make me wonder!

And an FYI, wallasasa.com is apparently supposed to be a site for finding other sites that contain records. And unless you really like pop-ups and pop-unders, avoid this site, to find what you want, use Google instead!

Poor 'jackass'!

Who is this poor fellow "jackass@wallasasa.com"?

I first noticed him when he (she?) starting spamming the feedback form on my website, Martha's Web. Being curious about so many user names with all the same email address, I Googled the email address. Wow, over 12,000 hits!

I think he must be very lonely! Maybe he is a druggie trying to kick the habit! He uses user names like 'Drug abuse rehab', 'Substance abuse treatment program' or 'Alcohol and drug abuse treatment center'. Maybe he wants to move! He also uses user names like 'mover houston', 'dallas movers' or 'moving company houston'. maybe he doesn't like where he lives and wants to come to Texas.

Poor 'jackass'! He has way too much time on his hands! He seems to be very fond of website guest books and contact forms. And he isn't discriminating, either. He puts his email address on forms everywhere, regardless of language!

So far I have identified Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Czech, Arabic, Hindu and some other languages I am not sure about. He likes English sites as well, U.S., Canada, British, etc.

He really isn't very original in his user names after all. Since I looked at the various 'hits' on Google, I see he is adopting domain names for his user names.

While he is rather annoying, spam filters are catching his Feedback entries for me. It's just too bad this poor 'jackass' has nothing better to do than harass website owners. Just think, if he had been doing something constructive in the time he wasted 'spamming' web forms, he could have become rich or famous, not 'infamous'!
