Spammers come and go. Some spammers, however, just keep on spamming. One of the most prolific and persistent is a Brazilian spammer advertising health insurance plans. For a long time, this spammer was an unknown. He used a constantly changing lineup of email addresses, some of which featured the word ‘saude’ ('health') or some variation on 'jcthomaz'. Eventually, however, he started advertising a domain - jcplanosdesaude.com. In some cases, the domain didn't appear in the message, but phone numbers that were also listed on that domain did.
