										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've been investigating <a href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2011/11/sms-spammers/">some rather nasty SMS spam</a>.</p>

<img src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/SMS-Spam.png" alt="SMS Spam" title="SMS Spam" width="480" height="339" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4741">

<p>I have finally heard back from Switchfire, the SMS gateway who sent the message.</p>

<p>According to them, the originator of the message was <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111116051333/http://peekabootv.com/">PeekabooTV.com</a>.  Take a look round that site - it hasn't been updated since 2007, and the Contact page leads to a 404.</p>

<p>A quick wander into the DNS registration produces this rather stale information:</p>

<pre>GPRS Solutions LTD
   David Berney
   11 Gower Street
   London
   WC1E 6HB
   phone: +44.8707414151
</pre>

<p>So, using the utterly brilliant <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120331012136/http://www.whorunsit.org/companies/05966632">WhoRunsIt</a> I can get their <a href="http://data.companieshouse.gov.uk/doc/company/05966632">latest information from Companies House</a>.</p>

<pre>GPRS SOLUTIONS LIMITED
MASONS YARD, 34 HIGH STREET
WIMBLEDON VILLAGE
LONDON
SW19 5BY
Company No. 05966632
</pre>

<p>Why! It's exactly the same as our friends at <a href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2011/11/sms-spammers/">EKASure</a>!  And identical to <a href="http://data.companieshouse.gov.uk/doc/company/05704483">Peek A Boo TV Ltd</a>.  And, indeed, identical to a whole web of companies run by Md Shamimul Haque.</p>

<p>All roads seem to lead back to EKASure.  I've contacted them for an explanation - but so far none has been forthcoming.</p>

<p>All very curious. With so many different companies, each supplying domains, redirects and services to each other - all registered out of EKASure... it's almost like they're trying to hide something.</p>
