Gainer Casino forum spamming
Our forums have been spammed multiple times now by a "Maria James", similar to this (links removed):

Quote:
Online casinos can be divided into three groups based on their interface: web-based casinos, download-based casinos, and more recently live casinos. Some casinos offer multiple interfaces.

Apart from the incredibly stupid sounding casino name, I don't know anything about them. Their site has a playtech and Windows Casino logo, text throughout refers to themselves as "Blue Duck Casino" and "Windows Casino" so who knows. There is also a link to some crap looking white label casino creation service.

Avoid this one, they are in our scum bucket.

My guess is that they are not a real casino, but a spammer that is creating a fake casino website and then launching the download for some other property. That was pretty typical not so long ago. If I had time I would test it on my isolation PC, but I just don't have the time today

To speak anything without any evidance can make anybody from the street. For declaring untruth, ADG must have an administrator.

Well.... I did not state a 'truth' here. I only offered up what is very typical from past experiences.

However - since you have 'called me out' about this casino, I will do some 'due dilligence'.

I am on my isolation PC at the moment. I will do some testing with the casino. Also - anyone who has a spam email from this casino, please send it to me with full headers and I will track that back as well.

thank you.

Bundas - The link titles that you have there are generated based upon site title. That is a default vBulletin function and nothing we have done to disparage you. That is your SEO's handy work, not ours.

That is fine if there is no spam mail... I am only asking for it. Doesn't mean it exists.

How about this..... Vladi, please send me any information you have on your forum user that spammed your forum with this casino (Gainer Casino). If you have trouble finding that information, contact me and I will point you in the right direction.


Here is what I have found so far, but I am done with this problem for today as it is taking up more of my time than I would like:

1. Norton Antivirus will IMMEDIATELY remove this casino's setup program as it feels it is a trojan horse.

2. I turned off Norton to allow the casino to run and it is a Windows Casino.


The casino contacted a server with the following whois information:

OrgName: Mirror Image Internet, Inc.
OrgID: MIR1
Address: 2 Highwood Drive
Address: Suite 100
City: Tewksbury
StateProv: MA
PostalCode: 01876
Country: US

Other domains on this server:

1. Autoclubspeedwaylatino.com
2. Barbiecollector.com
3. Barbiegirls.com
4. Laptopacadapter.com
5. Laptops4less.com
6. Pdainternalbattery.com
7. Phoenixraceway.com
8. Qbpplearning.com



I will trace all the TCP/UDP/HTTP/DNS/TLSv/ and other packets tomorrow when I have more time.


So far.... I haven't found a whole lot except that the casino packages (i.e., game CABS and such) are on a strange server.


Just an FYI - I am not trying to disparage the casino. Just trying to find out facts here. This may very well be a quality, new casino. I just don't have any information to prove this at the moment.

If anyone (i.e., Greek or others) would like to help me track this down - I'd be glad for the help. My time is limited in this capacity.

Thanks again.

WTF

Bundas, you are really getting on my nerves.

Stop calling admin unethical, you are the unethical one and this whole thread is just so you can get in your spammy links. You have a thread with the name of the casino in the title, all kinds of casino keyword links live and pointing at the casino, now you have a post with the name in fat print and underlined.

How stupid do you think I am?

You are a spammer and nothing else.

Now go ahead and attack me with a post that has - how many links in it? How many times will you mention the casino name?

The info I have about "mariajames" the Gainer Casino spammer is this:

mariajames555@gmail.com
Registered Country: India
Posts from:
117.193.66.45 (India)
117.193.64.35 (India)

Looks like the Gainer Casino Spam is coming from an Indian "SEO" spamming operation.

Did I mention the Gainer Casino Spam and that I think Gainer Casino is Rogue?

bundas, clearly English is not your first language, so I'll forgive your misunderstanding of the word "guess" (look it up in a dictionary).

However, your conduct as the supposed "owner" of the apparently rogue Gainer casino is only making things worse. How many affiliates are going to read this thread and decide they would want to work with someone as "professional" as you? So .. er .. keep up the good work, you're doing affiliates a great service.

Your administrator wrote a simple crap about the Gainer Casino. Why do you think, that I - the owner of the Gainer Casino – have to leave without any words the untruth statements of your administrator.

I expect you to apologize because of this lie, and declare.that the Gainer Casino is a real casino.
There is my answer - you spammed the name 3 times.

Apologize? You must have been drinking or smoking something funny!

If this was my board I would ban you. But that is up to admin.

Admin can guess anything they like. He said "I guess you are not a real casino" and not that you are not a real casino.

I am saying you are a spammer, brazen and insulting. Stop spamming the casino name or I will start editing your posts and all your spam work will have been for naught.

I see nothing in this thread that is unethical other then as Dom said your completely obvious spam links. Why are you going to forums and spamming your casino? Also why are you quoting a EU law when your casino is registered in the US, which is quite ballsy if you ask me for you to come here and flat out state your the owner of a casino and live in the USA.

This casino is a white lable and your nothing more then a master affiliate and the owners are actually Playtech.

Crap!

I better quit posting here and wait for admin to get back.

The entire thread and every post you made is spam and either all of your links and bold print needs to be deleted, or the thread needs to be archived, and you need to be banned.

Good night.
