Spammed? Please read
First of all, my sincerest apologies that you've been spammed. It did not come from us.
SSan.com is an old site that has been around since the mid to late 90s in one shape or another.
We offered our domain name for free emails to our members. At first, I thought it was our free email host provider for letting a spammer use the service to send spam. I started checking for the spammer's accounts in my control panel so that I could delete him. I discovered that they just didn't exist, nor did they ever exist.
Apparently, he is using some form of automated spamming software and targeting contact forms, guestbooks, forums, or anything he can spam with links to domains or sites located in russia, china, or elsewhere. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do since he isn't actually using my servers, or even our email services to send his spam. The only thing he's done is cause a lot of confusion, and people believing that the spam is coming from me. I've had to endure countless abusive emails, and phone calls in reference to this matter so far and I pray that he will stop using our domain name, but I realize that he will just move on to the next domain name to fake, and it could even be yours if you have one.
I would suggest reading up on some ways of securing your contact forms, guestbooks, or other from spam entries. Akismet.com is such a service that can be integrated into many programs if you are a developer or if you are using a product that supports Akismet, such as Wordpress. Alternatively you might look around at HotScripts.com for a safer script to use with anti-spam features. A great site filled with a lot of valuable information on who the spammers are, what they're doing, and suggested methods for blocking them at least partially is Spam Huntress
Noteworthy from Project Honeypot -- "(Please note: Just because an email address, company name, or other information appears here does not mean that they belong to a spammer. Spammers tend to make up addresses or forge the addresses of real, legitimate users in their messages.)"
Again, I apologize for what you've had to deal with, but please realize that it's not coming from here and I am the unfortunate victim of a form of spamming identity fraud.
