novemberb755.com aka PlayBingoLive.com is still active and scaming people’s email address and passwords. A family member of mine fell for this somehow, and my wife received an invite to play Bingo. My wife asked me if the web site was for real? I checked it and the first thing it does is ask for your email address and password! Be aware that going to www.novemberb755.com doesn’t work, no DNS is set up. Remove the www and you are fine.
A Google search turned up: Don’t give your password to PlayBingoLive.com and I need help with situation at PlayBingoLive.com

Looking at the source code of the page that comes up after entering an opt-out request shows some web bugs with the email address and my IP address being recorded at billionsmachine.com. Again, no www web presence, but leave out the www you get a login prompt. The web bugs were at http://services.billionsmachine.com/ws_reportspam.asp and http://services.billionsmachine.com/ws_getresponse_unsub.asp. Billionsmachine.com Whois info:

Mike, They are up to novemberb900 now I believe. A search on the isp they use to spam from their victim’s mailbox to their victim’s contacts (secondary victims, lol) shows they are using Wild West Domains as the registrar, and domain was shown as vmachine14.com. Return path was apache@vmachine1a.com, NOT my friends addy…tsk. Isn’t there somewhere we can report this or at LEAST get the word out in a major way?
