Andy Bhasin, spammer

Boy, is he a prolific spammer. He apparently works for some outfit called APIMD and he regularly sends out thousands of spam touting their training courses. It's not as if APIMD can deny anything; they've already sent out so much of the crap over the years.

I think they've managed to spam most, if not all e-mail accounts in Malaysia and Singapore. Just Google for apimd.com and you'll see various complaints about Andy/apimd, plus you can find their spam on mailing list archives, Usenet archives etc. Everyone I know has received apimd spam at one time or another.

Now, my spam filters normally weed out this apimd crap, but today one of them managed to slip thru. This was possibly because he spammed me with a Gmail account. I duly filed a complaint with Google. If you get spammed by Andy or anyone else via a Gmail account, you can complain here:

I don't recommend you actually sending e-mail to anyone there though; they'd just add you to their spam list. If you're in Singapore, feel free to call them up and express your opinion about the spam you've received from them.
