Spamming all Gmail accounts?

I found this in the inbox of a Gmail account whose address I never gave out in any way, shape, or form.

    I, too, received the same message. How the heck did he get my unpublished gmail account? I suspect he clicked on Gmail invitation links posted on certain websites and viewed the newly created email from there.

  2. Dan says:

    Is there any chance that this “guy” is some sort of AI experiment trying to build relationships with humans? Who really needs to spam friends? Just a thought.

  3. urban says:

    I’m in the Fatuch spamloop too on an account that’s never been published anywhere.
    This guy is on the verge of world fame. Whoever or whatever he is.

  4. terrence says:

    I got an email in my non-advertised gmail account also. They were asking for an orkut invite.

    “As Webdesigner i have the ability to search some emails at Orkut and Gmail.”
    makes sense, i didnt realise that google and orkut were affiliated. but why would they hire him?

    oh, and looking at one of his orkut pics, it does look like a weird photoshop composite.
    not sure if this link will work http://images.orkut.com/images2/medium/754/2132754.jpg

    I’ve received all his emails too. The first one came on Sept. 19, so far I’ve received 3. After staring at the last one in my inbox for the last 2 days I googled it. I also found this website (http://www.iworks.uni.cc/archives/2004/06/14/got-on-orkut/) where Mr. Fatuch is actually asking for the orkut invite, comments 46-52. Who is this guy?

    got the same (re Orkut); here:

    googled fatuch and came upon your site.

    Someone claiming to be J.E. Fatfuch left a comment here, where I posted the headers from his spam. Here’s the IP address he was using and the time at which he was using it.

  14. urban says:

    Two months on, I’m wondering if Senor Fatuch’s confirmation of the existence of all these gmail accounts has anything to do with the recent outbreak of spam there, or whether it’s just a coincidence.

    Hello: I located your site via GOOGLE search, while searching for “fatuch.” I received this odd email from “Unimundi” alias
    “Fatuch.”

    People are actually paying for gmail accounts????????????
    Thousands of free invites @ http://isnoop.net/gmail/ or http://gmail.afraid.org/

    DON4T PAY FOR GMAIL ACCOUNTS!!

    btw, there are many other 1G and even bigger email accounts. Gmail isn’t the only one

    This J.E Fatuch guy created at least two communities in orkut, both deleted: “Orkut chat” and “Orkut verified member”. His profile doesn’t exist anymore. He is a known spammer and probably a scammer too: he asked for a photocopy of member’s passport to become an “Orkut verified member”. The chat he created had an “orkut look”, with several elements (logos, design) copied from orkut pages.
