It's all gone to shit

Not the full ticket
(Medtext Publications)

The Belmont bawds and their fellow Medtext molls have taken to changing the From header to bypass sender block rules, but retain the Reply-To address, so that they can receive direct replies. Cunning, no?

Vanessa Williams, bless her, hasn't quite cottoned on. I found this in my junk mail folder, because she used a previous From address. But, she did change the Reply-To address. (rolleyes)

Is that the truth, or a lie, Vanny? Have any of my colleagues really submitted articles to your esteemed journal of irrelevance?

<img width="1" height="1" src="http://192.53.161.180/mail/index.php/campaigns/ds7370dh872cc/track-opening/[snip]" alt="" />

This one contains most of the hallmarks of solid, predatory spam:

  • changed From header;
  • urgency, we tried several times…;
  • unwarranted praise;
  • irrelevant scope;
  • extendable deadline;
  • submission by email, rather than a trackable upload platform;
  • substandard English;
  • tracking image linked to a campaign server and template;
  • deceptive address details.

But it adds a little something special: recognition that I have priorities and committments.

In respect of this, Vanessa doesn't want to overburden me, by requesting a full manuscript. She's such an understanding soul. All she wants is at least one of a number of shorter-form submissions. I have no idea what a case blog entails, but then I'm not a clinician. This blog, detailing cases of unsolicited solicitations, probably doesn't count though.

I wonder if an opinion piece or letter to the editor addressing the prevalence of spam from garbage-tier web comics would be acceptable?

The only truthful aspect of Vanessa's message is that she's reached out to me multiple times. But, since this is a template notice shat out by a predator to recipients on her shitlist, we can't expect anything in the way of honesty.

American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecological Research

Celestia Grace is a new ho on the block for Medtext, touting yet another OB/GYN webcomic. This time, it's American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecological Research..! [sic]

According to her, they'll publish my article rapidly, without any interruption in peer review process. I think she confused this with either without any peer review process, or without any interruption in APC collection process. I'm confident that if there were any peer review, it would not stand in the way of that filthy lucre.

Dear Celestia Grace, Is this a special thematic issue? Because it seems to be on the topic of the journal’s title. I am confused. Could you please enlighten me? Sincerely,

So, I think that's a blah-blah-blah then; the theme of the thematic issue is that of the webcomic. So, nothing out of the ordinary for any issue of any real journal.

But at least we've confirmed her locale, as if it weren't bleedin' obvious.

Clinical Cases in Medicine

Vanessa's presenting a new webcomic, but the dumb ho still has remnants of the Californian cathouse in her signature. In fact, it's not just the signature; the whole template is identical to that of Annals in Clinical Images and Short Reports, which she shat out only two weeks ago.

It's almost as if she's not really trying. Other than my patience, that is.

Annals in Clinical Images and Short Reports

  • Claim: We have reached out to you multiple times
  • Reality: No you haven't. This is template boilerplate text, distributed to unwilling recipients on your shitlist.
  • Claim: we thoroughly assess your work and make sure it accounts for rigorous standards in modern research
  • Reality: No you don't. The only accounting you're interested in is the APC fees.

In an academic world becoming more-and-more inundated with similarly-sounding titles spewing out intellectual detritus, someone at Medtext Publications hit upon the quite uninspiring title of Annals in Clinical Images and Short Reports. This is, at heart, just another case reports webcomic.

What Vanessa doesn't explain is how and why Belmont has moved to Chicago. She seems to have brilliantly conflated Illinois' house of ill-repute with the Californian cathouse. But, as far as I'm aware, she's never tramped The Golden State's mean streets, or spread 'em at Remedy Publications' Belmont bordello. She's always been a Medtext moll, through and through.

Dear Vanessa Williams, Thank you for your invitation to submit my work to your esteemed journal, Annals in Clinical Images and Short Reports. I would appreciate one point of clarification. 820 EL Camino Real, Belmont is the previous mailing address for Remedy Publications LLC, but it’s in California, not Illinois. I don’t understand your mailing address, below. If I send my work to the following address, will it reach you? Medtext Publications 820 EL Camino Real, Belmont Chicago 60659 Sincerely,

We got there in the end. Finally, Vanessa's removed the Belmont bawdy house from her signature.

And it's only just occurred to me that she's not certain that I have expertise in the field of…clinical images and short reports? Which I'll take as her admission that she's spewing this shit indiscriminately to her shit list. As if that needed confirmation!

The Gynecologist

Vanessa's lucky to have contacted an eminent researcher like me. At least one of us has been smiled upon by Lady Luck, I guess.

Unsurprisingly, her message, on behalf of The Gynecologist, ended up in my junk mail folder. For the wee lamb had used the same mailer address for a different journal.

Clearly, the game is to choose one mailer address for each campaign run, and all the molls use that for their various journals. But I have no idea whose pen name she's using. (confused)

Annals of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology

Vanessa beckons me to encourage young researchers with my work. I can't think of anything less likely to encourage anyone, to be honest.

But I find it more than mildly irritating that she's not been encouraged by my previous reply to fix her signature text. What's the point of mentoring the bitch if she just ignores me? It's just plain rude.

Dear Vanessa Williams, I have tried to advise you of a problem with your email signature, but you have not fixed it. “820 EL Camino Real, Belmont” is in California, and it’s where Remedy Publications LLC’s prostitutes pretended to be based, before they pretended to be plying ‘the oldest profession’ in Cheyenne, Wyoming. You, instead, are pretending to be walking the streets of Chicago, which is in Illinois, not California.
