We have received reports that there are spam email messages circulating that contain links to this site. This can sometimes indicate a concerted attempt to get a site shut down by their hosting provider or blacklisted in spam directories. However, such actions, when concerted, usually involve the spoofing of IP addresses to further the number and gravity of abuse complaints. We have received a copy of one of the messages, which is reproduced below. It contains a link to a collection of news items we posted in April regarding the former president of Kyrgyzstan, Kurmanbek Bakiyev, and his supposed looting of the country’s banks prior to his departure from office. The message says that it is from a Taras Shevchenko, who claims to be a “family lawyer” to the former president, and is offering to tell you about the $1 Billion that the president is hiding. He’ll let you have $300 million if you’ll only be discrete about it. The message is also careful to apologize if it “offends your moral values”. A major problem with this story is that Taras Shevchenko was a Ukranian poet and artist who died in 1861. Also, the message appears to have originated from an IP address in Lagos, Nigeria (82.128.3.246) and was routed through a mail server at “Renaissance University” in Hong Kong (203.198.185.14). If anyone has received copies of this or similar emails, please send us a copy or use our secure upload form.
