Turns out he is the primary perpetrator of Websearch.COM.AU Notice they claim to have been online for more than 10 years. Here's to hoping they won't be for much longer, if spamming is going to remain an important business tactic. Also note the brilliant spelling on the site. Very prefesiunal.

Links to links to scientific frauds / bogus conferences Seems fakeconferences.org used to exist, but is gone now. Seems link rot in these circles is really bad -- I guess the fake conferences are still trying to take care of their reputations. Relating to http://de.lirio.us/rubric/entry/4941 and http://de.lirio.us/rubric/entry/51043 I was wondering if HICSS was fake, but I see no evidence to support that. I'm probably just mixing it up with the one the SciGen guys went to, mainly I guess because the title of the conference is so vague.

Steal bandwidth from phishers by loading this page Not sure I like the meme, but there it is. By keeping this page open in your browser, you continually add load to (alleged) phishing sites.

Looks like a spammer to me Simple idea: spam a few directories with search links to your own search engine, and hope you will lure over users of other search engines to yours. The first few links he/she/it added looked kind of innocent and personal, but it's been downhill since then. At least Mr./Ms./Thing Dez please explain what this means. Thanks. Hey, looks like James just came to the same conclusion. Brilliant minds etc.
