Dear Philosophy (and other members) - In the future it would be greatly preferred if you would not include the telephone number listed in the spam you've received (I've removed it from your post). These spam adds are all over the world and considering the nature of this website we are not interested in assisting them with their advertising efforts. Thanks. Jack
For my research, the owners of the "australia.edu" domain have been kindly forwarding the spam they receive such as the one above. I am now inundated with those messages - just amazing the amount of traffic this scam is generating. Cheers, George
3 years ago, when our "Deep Throat" contact was supplying information on this operation, they were sending at least a million emails a day. Predictably more than that now.
This email specifically? I get several like it every week, and it simply gets nuked along with the rest of the spam. I wouldn't count on it stopping anytime soon. Dave
At least they're a little more honest. Mentioning that they're "Non-Accredited" is better than when I used to see the magazine ads saying "Fully Accredited" degrees.
