Focal Curve – The Plot Sickens

I have no problem giving credit where it’s due – especially when the subject is one I think deserves all the attention it can get.

Craig at http://geek.focalcurve.com/ Focal Curve is both a better writer, and makes better use of resources than I. Glad he’s on our side – this information seems so obscure, at least from the surface, that hardly anyone is talking about it. There are obviously curious people around, since the topic resides at the top of my http://jonathanmurray.com/greymatter/archives/00000381.htm searchwords category for visitors, but there are still very few references to be found via Google.

Nice work, Craig!

Got an email from a guy named Mike :

Aloha,

I googled for “Guerra Communications” and found your http://geek.focalcurve.com/archive/2004/08/7career-scam/ article about that site being a huge scam.

Well, i did some more poking around, and got this big huge list of websites that are also hosted on that ip address.

You can view that list here: http://whois.webhosting.info/207.218.174.13 [link]

Have a good day, thanks for the info.

The ads have been increasing in frequency, and so has the search traffic to my post about them. Back then I had asked if there was an easy way to find out what domains direct to a particular server. Well now we know, thanks Mike.

Perusing the list of 1228 domains that share hosting at that IP, a pattern emerges: lots of domains referencing prescription medications, home business opportunities, debt consolidation, online degrees from DeVry and the University of Phoenix: gosh that sure looks spammy. Whois’ing the domains no longer returns Sam Guerra’s contact information as it did a few months ago, now it simply shows that they are almost all registered anonymously by AMNTV.com.
