We are receiving daily SPAM from Eric Jones (probably a fake name) from talkwithwebvisitor.com and if you are reading this, probably you are, too. If you haven’t done it yet, please report this abuse by contacting the abuse department of their domain registrar, Cloudflare:
Email: registrar-abuse@cloudflare.com
Phone: +1.4153197517
That being said, it seems this SPAM-operation is using a botnet and is partially even able to bypass recaptchas, is able to use fake creditcard details etc. to submit an order. We are trying to collect the IPs that this SPAM operation is using to submit forms etc.
So far we have:
170.83.177.33
We will update this post with more IPs and see if we are to get further details. This is the message we have got today:
Hey, my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… Someone does a search and winds up at YOUR WEBSITE. They hang out for a minute to check it out. “I’m interested… but… maybe…” And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. There they go.

I have been spammed by this bot (or whatever it is) multiple times a day. I increased the security on my site’s contact form recaptcha and that seems to have cut down on it, but I still get the spam. I did try to email the Cloudflare address you provided to report the abuse, but it kept bouncing back saying my email was rejected for spam or virus content. I’m not sure how that could be possible – I didn’t include any attachments or URLs in the message. I’m guessing that they’ve set up their abuse email to block any complaints about this bot.
They do have a “report abuse” form on their site, but it doesn’t include spam, only phishing/malware. How I wish there was a way to be rid of this menace.
