Just got this email, should I be moving undercover to costa rica? (12)

OK, the spanish FBI are after me or something like that.
Looks creepy. What should I do with my impersonating landers?
Should I be packing my things and moving to a lonely place and changing my name?
(context): been running aggressive (brands) in ES, just got this email:

@roiter123
Hey man, just curious, did you receive any prior warning to take down these impersonating landers? If you did, did you ignore it that led to this letter?

---

Oh dear, what did you do?

Really man, I also ran lots of hyper aggressive and dirty stuff but I never received such an email.

Just few day ago one of my domains got banned by the registrar or I received an email from my server hosting for "malware" websites but nothing serious happened then.

Did you cloak?

And did you check if all infos about you are right and all outgoing links go to the appropriate websites?

I also wouldn´t reply to it, you probably could only make it worse the more you say.

Apart from that better play safe and stop the campaigns, remove the websites and maybe shut down the server.

Keep us updated.

---

Hey man, this is actually the first email I got from them.

---

I did not cloak. Just running the stupid brand landers everyone are running.

Yeah, they sent my lander URL in spain. They did not attach any personal info though, apart from finding my email (which already reveals my name) despite WHOIS protection.

I will probably just switch my domain on those landers

For the server, I use LanderLab which is essentially AWS S3 with cloudflare.

---

Lol. Fucking ES every time.

You don’t even have to run aggressive to get that shit.

Just take down the landers (or move to a different folder). And don’t run ES ever.

Also prepare for notices from your host, cdn, traffic sources, and a GSB flag on your lander domains and possibly your tracking domain soon.

Running in ES, especially push, will get this cyber security IT bullshit every time.

You’ll also see it with running LIDL offers anywhere in Europe.

Best to avoid.

---

Was the IP they sent in the email your cloud flare IP or true IP?

---

When they send the email to the alias from the WHOIS it also gets redirected to your real email so it doesn´t even mean that they have your real email.

---

@roiter123 Any news about this one?

---

Ah yeah, nothing happened as it seems I just replaced the domain of my landers.

---

Great news, I keep my fingers crossed that nothing follows there
