It's almost the deadline
Don't miss the deadline, darling

One of the laziest way to fill a blog-post must be to whine about the annoying spam from predatory-publishing grifters that clogs up the mail-bag here at the Riddled Museum of Salted Pineapples. So here goes, with the shitweasels and skeezebags and latrine-sloths at 'Open Access Text'!

We last met this mockademic outlet when they were providing the antivax autism scammers at AutismOne with a stove-pipe, or a stomach tube rather, to disguise the quality of a tainted on-line survey and pretend to their followers that it was actually a study. Think "human centipede" but with a feeding tube. Then hilarity ensued when the OAfs unpublished Mawson's papers again until his sponsors coughed up more money.

OAText are Navaneeth Reddy and his partner Khalid Mohammad, based in Hyderabad, because where else would they be? Though they dropped the diagnostic "Greetings for the Day!" salutation from their spam and launder everything through Reddy's company "ResearchWallet", to present themselves as operating out of the UK, in the belief that a London address endows them with gravitas and credibility. We try to lock them out, adding their Sender addresses to the blocked-domain-name list, but the OAfs keep adding new domains to squirm past the spam filter.

They are persistently concerned that I might miss the deadline, and miss the wunnderful opportunity to give them moneys publish through their science-reportage outhouse.

It might never have occurred to readers that "unsubscribing or modifying subscriptions" could be UNSAFE if it were not for these turdwaffles' reassurance that the unsubscription link is perfectly safe, no toxic HTML code there, promise! OAText were early-adopters of the addition of tracker code to their spam, to inform them when a recipient was foolish enough to read it and could be stalked with creepy targetted demands.

"Kathy Allison" is probably a $NAME parameter for a spam-script. but the Editor at least, James Aguayo-Martel, is a genuine facsimile of a human being. He is not an innocent victim of dirtball grifters appropriating his name for their shoddy little scam... he writes their Editorials, while his LinkedIn account boasts of his association with them, perhaps under the impression that the title of "Editor-in-Chief of a Journal-Shaped Pukebag" adds lustre to his reputation.

Dr Martel further burnishes his CV with an impressive range of roles at other spammy, scammy predaceous & parasitical journals -- Associate Editor and Honorable Editor at MedCrave, Editor at ECronicon, Editor at 'JOJO' from Juniper, Editor at OpenVentio, Associate Editor at "Annals of International Medical and Dental Research". Perhaps he is hoping to qualify for the title of 'Hyderabad Honorary Consul'. He does not boast of these low-life collaborations in his self-written Whackyweedia entry, however, so perhaps a vestigial sense of shame lingers still.

Dr Martel has been advised that the dregs of humanity are traducing his good name by signing it at the bottom of their griftograms, but he does not respond to well-meaning Riddled emails.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTERTHOUGHT: Jeffrey Beall speculated about the similarities between the OAText and OMICS operations. A commenter confirmed that Navaneeth Reddy had worked at OMICS before going into the business himself, wondering why he should work his fingers to the bone defrauding strangers on behalf of a boss when he could keep those strangers' money for himself.

The two scam-shops seem to maintain a collegial relationship, and Beall noted the ostensible existence of one Amanda Venis, a high-functioning $NAME parameter who works both sides of the street. "Her" FaceBukkake page primarly peddles one of the dismal OAText travesties (Global Derpatology) but the advertisements that comprise "her" Twitter stream alternate between that journal and the Journal of Figmentary Disorders from OMICS. Of the three LinkedIn entries set up in that name, one has her working in SF as an Editorial Assistant for OMICS, while the other two have her in London, as OAText Managing Editor for Global Dermatology or, possibly, for the Interdiciplinary Journal of Chemistry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTERTHOUGHT2: Two other OAText Editors are also unaware that their names appear in lying spam beamed across the Interlattice by lowlife scammers, for unfriendly strangers to jeer at. Despite my gently-worded attempts to warn them.

Rex Cheung can be excused for his ignorance for he is quite hard to contact... his claimed affiliation with Anderson Cancer Center is fraudulent, and his e-address there is no longer valid. He appears to have left the University of Texas, to spend more time editing his collection of journal-shaped pukenozzles from the Hyderabad digital-fraud industry.
