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'!

Hey Mac. I get all kinds of spammers on the forms at my website too. What really kills me is some of them just fill in the form with gibberish ... like, their email addy is dfadjfadfjas@dfasdf.com and the message they leave is ALJ; jlji[j jisdfasda werljwe j[osid f[asidfa ... and that's a direct quote LOL

I think some people just have WAAAAAY too much time on their hands!

sounds like you've received spam from this bot too.

After what seemed like over a year of spamming from jackass@wallasasa.com and thousands of spam messages, I am pleased to report that I've not received an email from jackass@wallasasa.com in many months, haleluia!
All the best,
Mark
