Catfished?

Remember when I posted about Epieos? I looked up a couple of email addresses besides my own. That was after I used InfoTracer (a data broker). It was only $2 to do a search. Be sure to cancel right afterward, or you’ll end up paying a monthly fee. I still need to opt out so they don’t sell my personal data.

Do they really think that I’m stupid, though? I do online research for a hobby. The Substack subscription came the day after my article was published on Antiwar.com. My blog gets spammed every week, sometimes twice a week. Every week, someone tries to shut my blog down with a denial-of-service attack. This, ever since I started researching “Project Myoushu,” last year. Of course, I’m going to be suspicious!

This particular scam may be unrelated, but I’ve been suspicious ever since they contacted me. I’ve only told them what I’ve said here, in personal posts that are now private. No, I didn’t fall for the bullshit about me being interesting (or being beautiful), and them wanting to be in a relationship, when they don’t even know me!

Their email doesn’t come up with anything, except for their Google Maps and Calendar, which are both empty. Their IP is located at Google. The Dalles Google Data Center in Oregon to be exact (per InfoTracer). Google is registered with MarkMonitor (a U.S. government contractor).

We have a unique team of professionals. Over the 6 years of operation, Sputnik in Crimea radio was twice recognized as the best radio project in the republic, and was awarded with certificates and gratitude at various levels. Our employees also received awards personally. “We are grateful to our entire department – the multimedia press center of MIA “Russia Today” in Simferopol and the RIA Novosti Crimea website. I am sure that everything is just beginning, we have a great future ahead.”

We broadcast in Russian. Our coverage is 95% of the peninsula. People listen to us in cities and villages – in Simferopol and Feodosia, in Zavodskoye and Chapaevka, in Sevastopol and Kerch, in Evpatoria and Yalta. as well as in Dzhankoy, in Balogorsk and in Alushta.
