How to Discourage Website Promotion via UCE
by William R Alford 

Below is a step-by-step description of how to construct the type of UCE report that has not only stopped unwanted e-mails, but has also had the website promoter [aka referring affiliate] taken down. Because of forged headers, it may be impossible to trace down the source of UCE. If a website is being promoted however, the spammer has to provide a URL for you to click on if he wants to get paid -- that's how they can be found and/or punished.

Shown is how to find a referring website's host/provider and report it.
Now these webhosts probably alreadyspam-guy know what their clients were doing, but can be 'encouraged' to take action after a clear association is shown between themselves and the perps. This has been true even in the case of so-called Spam-Friendly Carriers. They also must do a calculation of whether accommodating spammers is worth it.

A bit of advice: keep your cool!
Absolutely avoid using profanity. Assume that the data provided in the traces and searches [see below] may not be entirely correct. Spammers have become more sophisticated at disguising/forging their identity. You may even get UCE that traces to you or your ISP!

Below is a standard UCE report template that has been successfully used to trace and punish spammers. Once you get the hang of it, the entire process will take about ten minutes. Make sure to send it in plain text, or it may [ironically] be blocked by the recipient's spam filter.

-- TOP of UCE Template --

The forwarded UCE has been sent by your client/affiliate. Any effort in having the UCE stopped would be appreciated.

The data herein is organized in the following order:
- Full e-mail headers and HTML message source
- E-mail trace report
- Original message in plain text
- Referring Domain/IP Address in message body
- Website Domain/IP Address(s) receiving redirect from link in UCE

NOTE: this UCE has been forwarded separately to http://www.spamcop.net to create an external record.
==============================================
HEADERS/SOURCE
==============================================
1. Open the UCE and get the message header.
2. Open and copy the message source.
3. Paste the headers/source into your UCE report.
==============================================
TRACE REPORT
==============================================
1. Paste the headers/message source into a spam tracer program.
2. Copy the resulting Trace Report.  
3. Paste the Trace Report into the UCE report.
4. Copy any e-mail addresses yielded by the Trace Report into the 'TO' box.
==============================================
ORIGINAL MESSAGE IN PLAIN TEXT
==============================================
Place original message in plain text ['FORMAT' > 'PLAIN TEXT'] here.
==============================================
REFERRING DOMAIN/IP ADDRESS IN MESSAGE BODY:
==============================================
1. Search for any referring Domain URL in the original message.
2. Enter the Domain Name into an WHOIS search program.
3. Copy identifying information from Domain search report into your UCE message.
4. Copy any e-mail addresses yielded by the Domain search report into the 'TO' box.
5. Use the Domain Name to obtain the IP Address.
6. Once you get the IP Address, plug the number into the WIMIPA box again.
7. Copy and paste these results into your message.
8. Append the IP Address data directly below the Domain Name contact info.
==============================================
WEBSITE(s)/DOMAIN/IP ADDRESS(s) RECIEVING REDIRECT FROM LINK IN UCE:
==============================================
1: Promoted Website Domain contact info
2: Promoted IP Address contact info
Use the same 7 steps used to get the referring domain info to get the promoted website data.

HEADERS/SOURCE

Open the UCE and get the message header.
Service providers need the FULL headers and message source in order to investigate your report. Here's how to get them from Outlook Express. Click on the above link for instructions on how to retrieve them from other e-mail programs.


OEsource1

Open and copy the message source.
OEsource2
It is best to not only provide the headers, but the UCE message source [which includes any HTML code attached to the message]. This helps in two ways:
- You can do a WHOIS search [discussed later] on the website that is being sponsored by the UCE without having to click on the link in the offending message. Instead cut and paste any URLs [leave off 'http://www.'] into the search.
- The recipients can see where you got your data and why they have been contacted.
BACK TO THE TOP
Paste the headers/source into your UCE report.

TRACE REPORT

Paste the headers/message source into a spam tracer program such as the WhatIisMyIPAddress Spam Tracer page. The Trace Report should be included to show the recipient that you didn't just pull their contact info from thin air. Below this will be the contact e-mail(s) for the servers used to actually send the UCE. Put that into the 'TO' box.

Copy the resulting Trace Report.

WHOIS ANALYSIS: REFERRING DOMAIN/IP ADDRESS IN MESSAGE BODY:

This data is obtained from two sources. First copy each Domain Name [http://domain.name] from the message source and paste it into a WHOIS search.

Search for any referring Domain URLs in the original message.

WHOIS-1

Enter the Domain Name into an WHOIS search program.


Copy identifying information from Domain search report into your UCE message.

WHOIS-3

Then copy [without the disclaimers that also appear] and paste it at the bottom of your message as shown below. Look for any valid e-mail addys -- especially if they start with 'abuse' or 'webmaster.' Add them to the recipients of your message. This will likely reveal the information on a so-called 'affiliate' who gets credit for directing traffic to a given website or group of websites.

This is about as far as an Automated program like AET Tracer or Spam Cop will get you. Don't get me wrong -- both are very good, but sometimes more work must be done. Most likely, the above results yielded only some bogus e-mail addresses and contact information from a fictitious party in a Third World country. This is expecially true if the URL ends with '.biz' -- don't be discouraged. You just need to do some more digging.

For the next step you will need to do a trace on the Domain Name itself in order to get the numerical IP Address. I use Sam Spade for Windows, a free program that will show this. Take the exact same Domain Name that you put into the WIMIPA box, put into into the search box in the Sam Spade program and click 'Trace.'

Use the Domain Name to obtain the IP Address.

IPsearch-1

Once you get the IP Address [in this format 000.00.000.00], plug the number into the WIMIPA box again.
IPsearch-2

 You will get the results shown below. Copy and paste these results into your message.

IPsearch-3

Append the IP Address data [that will formatted as shown below] directly below the Domain Name contact info.

You may get lucky and get the contact info for the website's ISP. You'll know you've hit pay dirt if the contact info is in a 'developed' country this time. Again, look for any valid e-mail addys and paste them [separated by commas or semi-colons] into your message 'TO' box. As you do more of these searches on UCE messages, you'll begin notice that the same ISPs seem to be hosting these so-called "spamvertised web sites." You will probably find them listed among the [should-be-notorius] Spam-Friendly Carriers. Let's all keep the pressure on them.

Note: Don't bother including any e-mail addys from RIRs
(Regional Internet Registry) that may appear in your searches [see below] like ARIN, IANA or LACNIC, etc. among your recipients. You will get an automated reply message like this in your e-mail if you do:

"XXXXXX is a RIR, for the XXXX Region. This means that XXXXXX is responsible for IP address space and ASN assignment. XXXXXX is not an ISP. And so, no one is using its network to send unsolicited commercial e-mail (SPAM), or to attack computers connected to the Internet. Also, XXXXXX has no authority to punish or to banish any user that might be the source of such act."

WEBSITE(s)/DOMAIN/IP ADDRESS(s) RECIEVING REDIRECT FROM LINK IN UCE:

The ultimate object of sending UCE is to get you to click on a link and go to a website. Hopefully then you will buy the products and/or subscribe. Bear in mind that the destination website's webmaster may not be directly responsible for the UCE. Instead they may be paying anyone who sends them a 'referral.' The webmaster needs to informed that their site is being [wittingly or not] promoted by spam. Here's how:

Go ahead and fulfill half of the spammer's wishes and click on the link [go to the website being promoted in the UCE]. You will want a pop-up blocker -- and a good anti-virus shield too -- to be active first. [If you're using the latest version of Netscape, a pop-up blocker is integrated into the browser.] Look in the address bar of your browser for a new Domain Name to trace.

If the Domain name doesn't change, click on any links in the site [or view the page source (in Netscape Ctrl+U) and look for any Domain Names there]. Look for any links saying things like 'Webmasters, Increase Your Traffic, Click Here.' This can get you the URL for their affiliates/promoters and/or their real webhost. Do a WHOIS trace as above, cut and paste the information as shown below. Include them among your abuse report's recipients.

"Netscape Composer is an easy-to-use tool that makes creating HTML-based documents as easy as writing a memo with a word processor. HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, describes how words and images should be displayed on a web page or in an email message. Like a word processor, Composer uses fonts, styles, paragraphs, and lists, and includes an integrated spelling checker."
