Heads-up: spammer Scott Whittle/iptechlabs.com/iptechnologylabs.com hitting addresses harvested from NANOG list

Spammer Scott Whittle has harvested not only email addresses from the
NANOG list archives, but also Message-IDs, and is busily trying to
abuse the hell out of them. I've seen 6 (edit: 11) (edit: 14) copies
so far this morning, and no doubt more are on the way.

He identifies himself thusly:

  IP Technology Labs
  Network Communications Simplified
  Scott Whittle | President | T: +1 301 570 6611 x601 | M/SMS: +1 301 339 3237 |
  E: scott@IpTechnologyLabs.com | W: http://iptechnologylabs.com

Although the spam itself carries a return address of

  Return-Path: <scott.whittle@iptechlabs.com>

So blocking on the latter should suffice, at least for this round.

p.s. Pro tip: proofread your spam content before sending:

  "I am looking contact your Product Manager/Sales Manager regarding
  possible distribution of our USA made and designed Plug-and-Play
  VPN products.

  We are the are a channel friendly company, can offer account
  protection, and ensure your margins."

Is his upstream, or the upstream of his hosting provider, on NANOG or IETF?

Or is he using a botnet?

(I got a couple dozen, but deleted them.)

My sample came via GoDaddy:

Return-Path: <scott.whittle@iptechlabs.com>
Received: from p3plsmtps2ded01-02.prod.phx3.secureserver.net (p3plsmtps2ded01.prod.phx3.secureserver.net [208.109.80.58])

GoDaddy is not blind to these problems.

Has anyone asked them to look into this?
