Spamhaus has uncovered a fake blacklist that is using stolen data from other blacklists such as Spamhaus, CBL and SURBL, saying it is their's, and then attempting to charge senders for removal from this blacklist if they find themselves on it.
The "company" involved in this scheme is touting themselves as a fake anti-spam filtering company called nszones.com. Nszones operates a 'remove your IP' scam charging naive internet users to be removed from the stolen blacklists.
If you find yourself on this blacklist or receive any communications from them saying your in danger by being on their, ignore it. Do NOT pay them anything.

Sounds a lot like SORBS.
What's the big deal, all blacklists are scams, including spamhaus. Why is this any different.
