These crooks are worse than Hitler and the Nazi’s. They have found a way to prey on the fear of spam and to black mail and extort money through this fear. But they can only be stopped if people like gmail and comcast.net stop blindly using them just because they claim to be an RBL. They are evil. For example that have over 550,000 ip addresses for softlayer blocked and since each of those could house 2-10 domains they can block 2 or 3 millions mail servers from these domains. This from about 1700 perceived spam emails. This is very irresponsible for major networks to blindly use an RBl that may be twisted and evil as hell. Why doesn’t a major ISP take action, sue them, report them? They are not protecting their customers or providing the service their customers paid for if they don’t. Black Lists are a unique form of evil. With black lists we don’t need laws or justice. Stand UP and be counted. Our of 70 RBLs UCEprotect is the only 1 listing softlayer.com containing 550,000 ip addresses.

I am a legitimate business, who has been listed by this bunch of idiots and this is causing a problem for my mails both in and out.
Then I see that they want to charge $18 for a “whitelisting”
Stuff them!!!!!!!
What right do they have to stuff around with my legitimate IP.

I think they are the criminals here and please someone who knows how, take legal action against this bunch of f….g idiots who are stuffing up my business.

Contacting police wont help, I think, only educating ISPs and individual mail server operators to ditch such scams will help IMO.
However, since last year things have changed there a bit, now they are explicitely warning users of their lists about what might happen and why. Perhaps because some legal problems they had, so I believe acting on the legal field is no longer productive now, they adapted to avoid prosecution.
I think admins should be really dumb to use their list when they explicitely say “you will lose legitimate mail if you use our lists”.

I had issues today because of UCEPROTECT. They are a scam and nothing more They are worse than spammers since they will take money to “remove” you from the list. If they care about spam they would not take money at all – this shows they are just a scam.

I got my ISP not to use UCEPROTECT. Someone should start a class action suit againt these scammers.

I have contacted Bundeskriminalamt in Germany with a formal complaint.

As the ‘company’ operators are German citizens physically lingering in Germany, victims should immediately contact the German government agency BKA which is in charge of transnational crimes and is legally bound to become active on their own behalf in case of a suspicion of such crimes.

phone.: +49 611 55 – 0

Using a fax machine is advisable. Write “organisierte Kriminalität” in the subject heading.

Same hear. Just started getting emails bounced back a few days ago. Turns out useprotect added a range of Godaddy.coms IP addresses to their blacklist. Ridiculous. Definitely an extortion scam. Shame on uceprotect. They will get what’s coming to them. Karma has a way of catching up to everyone.
