I have been getting these JC Penney Confirmations, Order Confimations, Thisandthat Confirmations, Anything confirmations several of them a day for the past at least 3 years. Know what? I am sick of it.

I am disgusted by the fact that enom.com claims how they have such great zero spam policy, yet they allow bulk registrations, and the registrant details for enom.com are suspiciously too close to the geographical area of this other Nameless Person or is it Company with an Original Name.

Enom About US site provides a lot of info regarding him.

Please note: this person can not be contacted ( the phone voice mail is always full or will cut you off),he is a spamer and uses bots and fake info to collect names and email addresses. He uses these to send people to one or more of his many duplicated sites pretending to loan or offer to loan you money. if you fill in the form you will get even more spam email ( No one will lend you money) I do not even own property and I was getting 10 to 20 of these a day with fake names attached. offering to get me a $365,000 loan for a property which I don't own. Obviously they do not research, they just send out bulk emails. All the domains registered recently have been new as of Dec 2006. Be advised , It is very easy to buy up Domain names and start a web site, many re3gistrars offer cheaper prices in bulk. If you get email from this person do a who is search, if my info is correct you will see the exact same person attached to them. report them at the bottom of the Who is page. it is the only way to end it.

I've found eNom to be the worse company I've dealt with in my life. Arrogant, stuck up and downright thieves. eNom could give DELL's customer support line a run for it's money, at least at DELL they reply. This company is still trying to charge me $200 for my own domain, they even renewed it a further year so I couldn't have it for even longer.
DO NOT DEAL WITH ENOM!

Dndialog.com was the service used to register enom.com?
That website has now only a forum, but it has interesting topics. Such as this. Based on what I can guess of the words in Russian, the whole domain seems to be a playground for Russian bulk domain registrants and spammers.

Again registered by enom.com!

Whosiprivacyprotect.com gets a few hits in Google, and they are all indicating spam.

Hm. Let me think.

Enom.com makes a big fuzz how they have strong antispam policies and zero spam tollerance.
Yet enom.com gets nearly 50,000 hits only in google for a very simple search for their name and the word spam.

All of the spams that I have received from companies (or the same spam group) that uses enam.com for the past over three years, have always had this Whois Privacy Protection Services, Inc, without a real email address, or a name, as the registrant. In the years, this means I have got thousands if not tens of thousands of spam by them. Too bad one of the email addresses suffering for this I need to keep for other purposes, and the anti-spam tools seem too dumb to just ignore all of them.

If enom.com really had this anti-spam attitude, and zero spam tollerance, I believe they would not allow companies to register without a name for registrant, and a real address and contact details.

If they had truely this zero spam tolerancy, they would not allow this Wonder Spam company to be hosting on their services fof bulk domains for over 2 years, with their main page just harvesting for email addreses.

Enom.com just got their own name tag.

More digging on Leo Kuvayev aka Alex Rodrigez

And more digging on Leo Kuvayev aka Alex Rodrigez:

Leo Kuvayev is listed on the top 10 of the internet influent people

In the '90s Leo was a promising computer science grad student at the University of Massachusetts, where his focus was on artificial intelligence and machine learning. (His articles include "Intelligent Methods for File System Optimization" and "Learning to Play Hearts.") [articles]

Leo apparently became a US citizen in 2000 and was running some kind of online casino and Internet payment business out of Montreal. Last year, he launched a spam affiliate network called BadCow with a partner, Vladislav Khokholkov, who is also named in the lawsuit along with a handful of other people. The AP apparently reached Vlad by phone in Russia today, and he coyly said "I don't send e-mails."

(Spam Kings article above)



Bits and pieces
Mr Kuvayev / Rodrigez' ICQ = 101859176 (from his site, via internet archive, also listed on icq.com)
Mr Kuvayev's provided info (again all from his expired home page) about his 3 sisters :

Nadira's brief info:
Born in November, 1980 in Moscow, Russia
Height: 5'6''
Weight: on a slim side
Location: Moscow, Russia
Phone: +7 095 423-6337

Lana's brief info:
Born in November, 1980 in Moscow, Russia
Height: 5'6''
Weight: just right
Location: Boston, MA
Email: laname@hotmail.com

Regina's brief info:
Email: regi428@ilovechocolate.com

This guy is sued only in MA for close to $ 40 million. He seems to log in to his ICQ account regularly.
Why is it so hard to catch him?
ICQ logs for sure every time each user logs in from which IP address. I can only guess that ICQ respects the privacy of every user it has then. So it ICQ where all the Isreali. Palestinians and Al Quaida communicate as well as it gives them privacy?

And Alex Rodrigez aka Leo Kuvayev has his wikipedia entry

I wondered how long it would take before Alex Rodrigez would get his own wikipedia entry. It didn't take that long, since he already has one. Under his real name it appears.
From that wikipedia entry:

The last known email address for Kuvayev, under his alias, was domains@locu.st.

If that brings any joy for your revenge.
More on Leo Kuvayev / BadCow owned domains.
European spam wiki puts

Russian/American spammer, a spin-off or occasional partner with Alan Ralsky, Igabromiv, Lindsay and also the P/A/Y gang.
Does "OEM CD" pirated software spam, child and animal porn spam, porn payment collection, pharma/pills, phishing, and others. Does his own DNS, possibly does DNS for other spammers. Buys bulletproof hosting wherever he can get it. Noted for enormous numbers of domains (bogus registration info, of course), often rotating every three hours in the spam to avoid URIBL filters. Mails via proxies using the usual spamwares, probably off his own (leased) servers. Noted for having "fresh" peas, meaning he is very close to the botnet masters collecting new, unlisted, zombie IPs. Was part of Sun Network spamhaus on MCI, gets BP hosting in Brazil, China, Russia, etc.
