Dec 3rd I puled this spam from around Green Valley/Sunset. Last week I pulled alot around Warmsprings/Eastern, Gilespie. Locals know these streets run parallel, about a mile apart. The lastest popped up at 95/Russell, about 6 miles further East but parallel to Sunset by about a mile.

Today I got the ones at the entrance to 95 freeway at Russell. He's been around for years. The most recent spam campaign happened June 2009.

I called these guys a number of times, same old "oh I didn't know it was illegal, I'll tell my guys to stop".

I never called them, but once I got lucky and saw one of his trucks leave an apartment at Paradise and Flamingo. It was after 6pm so I started to follow it, thinking it would go to the business. I stopped following after it went past Samstown.

I looked up his license once and it gave a Russell and Mt. Vista area address. There was a house there with lots of iron work. But his signs used to follow a trail to Washington and Hollywood back in 2006, 2007. Different spam used to end there too.

Recently I did a search and found a Olson Marketing company. Don't know if their related. Just did another search and got a good address 1210 Morning Sun, just up the street from Washington and Hollywood.

I love pulling his signs, he usually uses brand new angle iron as his stake. Even though he is in the business, I'm sure it still costs him $$$$$$$$$$$$.

I found these on a trip down Sunset, spammers route. The Olson Iron is about a day old. How did I know? Note the silvery shiny coat of metal as if it had just been put in the ground. LOL.

A carpet cleaner spammer lives in spear chucking distance from this corner. But it could be another spammers work, one I can smell but can't find. Keep you updated.

Here's all the spam I found at this corner, Annie Oakley/Sunset.

Two more at Rainbow/Badura, Warmsprings. July 7th.

wevl

And more one mile north at Oquindo/Rainbow, northbound and southbound.

This area has a local spammer, somewhere between Rainbow and Buffalo off Patrick. I remove constantly northbound on Durango and southbound on Rainbow. The spam usually starts at Russell and ends at Warmsprings. Its Psychic spam, the $8.00 Carpet spam, and in some cases Surround Sound, and Olson Iron.

Olson Iron signs are all over town. These guys place their signs on private property now hoping we wont touch them.

They are the same guys responsible for spam in general Lets keep pressure on them by posting the locations on this site.

Rainbow at Post, north and south bound
Tropicana at Maryland Pkwy. Spammers neighborhood.
Durango before Russell, southbound.
Rt. Apache before Russell southbound
Ft. Apache Walmart at Russell

wevl

Are you kidding me, it would be easier to post where these guys are not placing their signs.

These spammers are not just hitting intersections, they place their signs from end to end, up and down main thoroughfares such as Sahara, Desert Inn, Spring MTN, Flamingo, Trop, Hacienda, Russell, Valley View, Decatur, Jones, Rainbow, Durango, etc. I've been cutting the last digits of the phone number when I can.

Making a positive difference!

Your right I missed them on Flamingo. I havn't cruised Spring Mt. DI. or Sahara.

I just removed on Flamingo, Tuesday early in the morning 11:00AM, eatbound and west bound. Total time 4 hours. Starting at Ft. Apache 9100 blk to Decatur 4900, about 5 miles.

Total count 55.

I havn't seen that much of any spam in the valley This is all the spammers getting together. We should get together and defeat him.

wevl

Crusied Tropicana Satuday and got some fresh Olson Iron Went up today but came down today It took about two hours to hit a 4 mile stretch of road eastbound and westbound I changed my tactics to improve time cost

Total count 86

Md Pkwy to Eastern 24 east and west
Eastern to Pecos 28 east and west
Pecos to 95 1 east and 18 west
95 to Nellis 13 east and west

I bet if we focused on this guy for one weekend we could get over 400 of his signs.

Sunday one week ago I moved one street north to SprMt. got about 50 more from Ft Apache to Decatur, eastbound, westbound.

Returned to Flamingo and Tropicanna the next day and foound a couple repeats. One at the Loose Caboose Bufalo/Flamingo,westbound and Tropicana/Durango eastboound.

Yea if followed the typical spammer routes I'm sure will find more. I guessing along Charleston on the west side and along Durango Bufalo on the westside between D.I. and Charleston.

I drove down west Charleston from I-15 to Decatur yesterday and counted over 50 Olson Iron signs on both sides of the street. I was not able to get any of these as I was working on another project.

Making a positive difference!

Yea I knew it.

I found more Olson that I missed on some side streets, I'll get when I remember where I saw them.

Thanks for the Charleston info. What I do this weekend is take the bike on the bus then I get off at Charleston and Ft Apache, ride downhill picking up all the Olson Iron spam eastbound, then repeat westbound.

Its like what you do when you shampoo your hair if you still got yours. I don't need to do that, but it works for sharking.

Ah,Can the spammer beat that kind of efficiency?

wevl

Good weekend for Sharking

Didnt find any along Charleston but one at Jones

Moved back to Russell Spammer corridor and found 72

6 eastbound Russell before Jones
4 westbound Russell before Jones
21 eastbound and westbound Russell between Cameron and Arville
4 NW corner Wynn at Russell
4 Valleyview at Russell
6 north southbound Valleyview south of Russell
10 southbound 6100 blk Valleyview
10 west of Valleyview on Sunset
7 northbound Valleyview before Sunset

Teco between Sunset and Post on Valleyview is a business VC Motoring There parking lot has a spam truck parked there Half Price Dental These were big spammer back in 2007

Those are some good numbers.

Checked Russell again this week got about ten more between Torre Pines and Rainbow.

They were in the gound facing the street centerline. I think code defines the placement perpendicular to traffic flow. You can't read the sign unless you turn your head or are walking onto the property.

I might have missed them last week. Its all vacant airport land and they have there signs posted that way to keep tresspassers off.

10 eastbound Russell before Jones and Torre Pines.

wevl

I got more along Cameron off Russell between Russell and Tropicana.

This area is bussing with spammers addresses I tracked signage to. So its hard to tell who's who's.

Here the numbers

5500 blk Cameron north of Diablo 8 total
5300 blk Cameron north of Hacienda 6 total
Hacienda est and west of Cameron 6 total
4800 blk south of Reno 8 total

28 total

Man he won't quit will he? I keep my bike fueled up, Oh yea it dosn't require any.

Saw some along Lake Mead west to Rainbow. This area used to be my best feeding grounds. Didn't look too trashed. Only other spam was that large cardboard spam I've been removing at Jones and Trop/Decatur, and Charlie/ Buffalo.

You guessed it Mechanic for hire.

I removed some Olson along Cammeron/Hacienda, in a older post.

At the time a guy was circling the parking lot on the street I was working, watching me remove the spam. I watched him go behind another building in this neighborhood, this building is where some spa spam matched up as the address when I Googled it.

Spammkies always think I don't know what they are up too.

wevl

Just be careful!!!!
