He has spammed by responding to posts that people have made in the past, he is still trolling I guess.

Yep - just got one a few minutes ago. I was just getting ready to spin up my trolling-for-business-by-scraping-addresses-from-nanog-is-bad-mojo response. jms

\o/ i got one too, i'll put a bunch of sales droids on this "George" from telx right away to make him an offer in return *grin* (this is how you treat ppl trying to sell you something in an aggressive manner, you just have your people try to sell -them- something in return ;) On Fri, 17 Feb 2012, Justin M.

I did respond directly to him, and got a somewhat indignant response back, stating that he had no idea what I was talking about and that my contact information had come from an "opt in email broker". It's going to be one of those days.... jms
I didn't even respond. I think many of these high-pressure-aggressive-types always have an answer like that conveniently vague enough as to give them an "out". On Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 9:54 AM, Justin M. Streiner <streiner@cluebyfour.org

I did mention to him that such tactics were likely to create a large group of people who will never do business with Telx. It's equivalent to having someone call you out of the blue to sell you a car, whether you're in the market to buy or not. jms
In other words he bought a list of leads. On Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 8:24 PM, Justin M. Streiner <streiner@cluebyfour.org> wrote:

No he didnt. The one he sent to me actually included part of the thread he picked me up from. I told him the most exciting thing he could do is to not spam me again. Poor guy, did nobody tell him? -- Leigh Porter On 17 Feb 2012, at 15:11, "Justin M. Streiner" <streiner@cluebyfour.org> wrote:

It's a little hard to says that with a straight face when it has a copy of the message posted to nanog attached.

I've been getting voicemails from someone, leaving a first name only saying they have question that only I can answer. Dangling bait like that is a big red flag so they don't get a callback. On Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 10:28 AM, Justin M. Streiner < streiner@cluebyfour.org> wrote:

My personalized message from George was directly in reply to my post in the "time sink 42" thread. He's subscribed to the list and just going down the message list hitting "reply". -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

Yep. I shot a complaint to customerservice@telx.com. Assuming Mr. Fitzpatrick does not control that portion of the company, it may be of value for other recipients of his spam to do the same. Nathan Eisenberg
