Lotus Chinese Medical Services Are Spamming Scum

Over the past few days a Coleraine based company, Lotus Chinese Medical Services, have been systematically spamming a LOT of Irish companies.
While spam may be annoying and I’m no stranger to it, what makes this spam a little different and more annoying is the payload.
The idiots are sending out a rather large PDF attachment with each and every email!
The file is about 2 megabytes in size, so with encoding etc., it can put quite a “nice” strain on your DSL line. Imagine a sales@ or info@ address that sends the same email to multiple people in an office. You end up with the same stupid mail being downloaded by ten or twenty people at once. End result being that your office network gets really really slow as a result.
So what can you do?
Report them to their ISP AOL and spamcop and anyone else who cares to listen.
I’ve already reported them to AOL and spamcop a couple of times this week, as they keep hitting my personal domains one by one, which suggests that they’ve built themselves a “nice” little database of Irish domains.
Unfortunately they don’t have a website, so you can’t get that taken down or blacklisted in a URI blacklist, which is a pity, but you can ring them and yell at them 🙂
Another option would be to report them to the data privacy commissioner. While this may not offer much protection for businesses they’ve also been hitting personal email addresses (including the one tied to this site). Of course as they are not actually based within the republic that may not help.
Anyone with suggestions let me know
