What's Super Bowl Sunday without Gevalia spam?

More Gevalia spam from Sharktech Internet Services - an appropriate name for such a constant source of spam. It's coming from this IP address on Sharktech.net's network:  70.39.97.2,  which they're renting out to pushwall.info, a domain name registered to 'Bobbie Crandall' but, as usual, the phone number listed in the registration information isn't Bobbie Crandall's. It belongs to someone else who isn't happy about some of his identity being misappropriated.

Pretty much like all of the other Gevalia spam that keep's arriving from this ridiculous collection of made-up domain names with made-up owners.

This is really crude and rude behaviour from a company - Kraft - that's the largest food processor in North America.

The emails have no accurate contact info and are using bogus domain name registration information, and relying heavily on gmail addresses for their email contacts.

This pattern is being repeated day in, day out. It would be fair to call it business as usual for Kraft and Gevalia.

Sharktech, meanwhile, is climbing up the spammer food chain with four listings on the Spamhaus blocklist:

The Spamhaus Block List (SBL) is a realtime database of IP addresses of spam-sources, including known spammers, spam gangs, spam operations and spam support services.

And all four are from the past week (Feb 1-6). Would that be in honor of the Super Bowl Sunday spamathon?
