You would think someone born in August 1971 would know better about internet secrecy.
And his wife also born in August (1980) was a director of a north england company that sold (Guess what) but is now dissolved.

Actually my "real work" is broadly that.
Any reason we do not name and shame this spammer?
I'd say he's annoyed quite a lot of people, providing some feed for people to spam him with sounds like very mild retaliation.

The commercial stuff is public domain:
http://www.checkcompany.co.uk/director/10421648/GURMIT-SINGH-DOSANGH
His partner Sadiya (same second name) and he have other dissolved companies trading in the same area which is interesting.
VAT GB 222941817 / GD DESIGNS ROCHDALE LTD / A9 FIELDHOUSE INDUSTRIAL ESTATE ROCHDALE OL12 0AA
Companies House have No. 09607057, https://www.duedil.com/company/09607057/gd-designs-rochdale-ltd No accounts filed.
A quid would get you the directorships including dates of birth, although you could probably get them from the electoral register if they're incautious, or possibly some of their older companies have fuller free data available.
There's plenty of evidence that they've spammed other places (eg piston heads). Maybe if the admins here were to post the IP addresses of some of the offending posts we could track who their ISP is - for sure if it's one of the ones I worked for then we could get their broadband into some hot water for this sort of thing, if they're stupid enough to use it.

You know it makes sense.

Hmmm, You don't need to be a super sleuth to google kitchen spam, read the first article and then read the wikipedia article about the person described in it by the initials VM. And he is from... Rochdale. If not the same person I'd hazard a guess its the same organisation. A nasty piece of work if reports are to be believed, and seemingly likely to take revenge action. Reportedly DDOS'd moneysavingexpert.com. Whilst I'm sure most of us think people like this should be stood up to I wouldn't want to start something that might have repercussions for Snowheads.com and could potentially cost $$$ to put right...

sensible not to do something about it in the DDoS threat.

@GlasgowCyclops, there is a guy called Vance Miller who has been in the kitchen business for years, who is from Rochdale/Oldham. He has been on watchdog and is well known for his failure to deliver etc. I was just putting two and two together. Maybe it's someone totally different.

The kitchen spammer is VM. Given his reputation maybe better not to cross him?
There was a thread on another forum where someone confronted a person in Rochdale registered to one of the names and it turned out he was just a front for VM.

What I'm wondering is what is the point of the spam listing? How many people see that and think yes a new kitchen is just what I'm after and this weird looking website address full of full stops is clearly the place to look?

Given that VM has to pay actual real live humans to spam, ok he probably doesn't pay them very much, but still.

exactly, so it would be cheap for him to hit here with a DDoS

I imagine it's more about boosting the search engine ranking of the linked site than getting clickthroughs from the spammy post.
