Fraud from the desk of Sebastian Foss

Frequently I receive emails from very angry people complaining about various "SEO tools" and "Money Making Software" delivered from the desk of Sebastian Foss (AdBlaster, Instant Booster, eZine blaster, Blog Blaster, Feed Blaster, Newsgroup Blaster, eBay Cash Machine, Doorway Page Generator, Google Cash Machine, and countless more scams), which got their sites banned or which just didn't work as promised, asking for a refund and demanding compensation. I'm sick of replying to all these emails to set the records straight, so here is the guy's address:

e-trinity Internetmarketing Ltd.
Sebastian Foss
Böhler Str.14
Lindlar, 51789, North Rhine-Westphalia
Germany [map]
Phone: +49 2266 478 230
Fax: +49 2266 478 197
email: sebastian@etrinity-mail.com

I suffer from his fraudulent and spammy activities too. I find his URLs in my referrer stats, I receive ~~his~~ email spam from the desk of Sebastian Foss, and people get mad on me because they assume I'm him just because I blog about SEO and Internet marketing.

Here is the last email spam I got from Sebastian Foss¹⁾ at promote-biz.net:

A smart investigator ~~can~~ should be capable to assign this URL on promote-biz.net to e-trinity Internetmarketing Ltd., Sebastian Foss' company in Lindlar, Germany.

If you're sick of spam and scams from the desk of Sebastian Foss too, then turn him in. Last time I looked, sending out email spam is a crime in Germany. In case the spam report form below (courtesy of the german cops) doesn't work, here you go: Police Lindlar, Germany.

It doesn't hurt to link to this post with "Sebastian Foss" in the anchor text ;)

Update: I received a threat from Sebastian Foss, so I've edited this post (look for ~~original text~~ followed by changes). I'm not 100% certain which instance of "Sebastian Foss" sends out the email spam, but all known instances of Sebastian Foss are obviously spammers. More Information on the spammer Sebastian Foss and his clones respectively multiple/virtual personalities.
