\nSeveral hours ago, we reported the first incident of spam website using Google-owned Blogger that we ran across. Whether or not cyber idiots will utilize Blogger more frequently to advertise porn websites in order to earn commissions simply depends on how willingly Google and Blogger are going to bust them. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there is no question that Yahoo!-owned geocities has become the center of the world for advertising porn websites. Back in December, we reported e-mail scam involving porn websites hosted at geoocities<\/a>. And we were stunned when we reported abuse. They wrote,<\/p>\n

“We are not able to take action on this page because the apparent
\ninstance of abuse is on a site belonging to another provider of these
\nservices that is not Yahoo! or Yahoo! GeoCities. If you wish to have
\naction taken on this web page in particular, may we suggest you contact
\nthe company which provides the home page service to this user.”<\/p>\n

So we quit wasting our time. Now, Yahoo! seems more serious in busting abuse than before. They have an e-mail address to which you can report abuse.<\/a> But the problem is how many people will be able to find this e-mail address?

\nThere are evil websites in which webmasters knowingly let cyber criminals merely advertise porn and pharmacy websities<\/strong>. One example is www.t35.com<\/strong>. When we reported that their free subdomain websites were used for spam redirection, the website administrator wrote<\/p>\n

“The members you have pointed out have done nothing obvious that violates our terms of service or any law.”<\/p>\n

By the way, if you run into a porn website hosted at geocities and see a sign that says “REPORT SPAM<\/strong>,” don’t be fooled. They only want to record your IP address and e-mail address.
