SyedsMarketing is a bulk email marketing operation run by "Syeds Group", a Pakistan-based company that also operates an ISP and webhosting company. This entity spams opt-out lists and has for many years. SyedsMarketing has been on Spamhaus' radar for almost a decade. The oldest SBL record we were able to link to this organization is from 2012. For the past three or four years, SyedsMarketing has spammed through Google Groups. Currently it appears to send its spam through Gmail accounts, using a web connection that prevents the source IP address from appearing in the headers. In the past it staged its spam from purpose-registered IP addresses at inexpensive VPS providers or from accounts at ESPs with automated provisioning and ineffective new customer vetting. SyedsMarketing solicits business from other businesses in Pakistan and other countries along the Arabian Gulf and Indian Ocean coast of Africa. Solicitations are made through email and telephone calls, and possibly SMS or other channels. The majority of the businesses that it sends spam for are or appear to be legitimate businesses. Some did not care about not spamming, but some did. Spamhaus is unwilling to leave these businesses unaware of the exact nature of the marketing services offered by SyedsMarketing. Businesses that are looking for an email marketing service need to consider whether they are willing to risk their company's reputation and ability to communicate with customers by sending spam through Google Groups, a service that has many legitimate users. Hiding spam and prevening spam blocking through abusing services with many legitimate users is not right. ===== Syed's Group 1 Suite M-24 Centrum Shopping Mall Main Rashid-e-Minhas Road Karachi 74211 Pakistan Telephine: +92.21-34988803, +92.21-34837859 Mobile: +92.345-2828468, +92.321-2828468 WhatsApp: 0321-2828468 Email: info@syeds.com.pk Web: www.syeds.com.pk Owner: Faisal Syed Ahmed <faisal@syeds.com.pk> KNOWN BUSINESS NAMES/ALIASES: The following aliases have been connected to SyedsMarketing through a process of correlation of logos, Google Groups spam list names, and other information.
