Quick note: New unwanted communication at 7:18 p.m. targeting the same story I referenced in the 5:28 p.m. post above. Appears to be from Eastern Europe.

By way of example, since 3:08 p.m. ET today, the PP Blog has blocked two unwanted communications from senders targeting this story thread on Club Asteria, Exotic FX and Imperia Invest IBC:

The spammers came seven minutes apart and appear to be from Eastern Europe.
