Sadoun related spam at Yahoo Homesat group

I assume and hope that this wasn't done by a Sadoun employee, but I thought that Sadoun should be informed.
The Calendar at the Homesat group at Yahoo has been filled to the brim with SPAM that has a link to the Sadoun web page. It was posted under the name Izzy_SLM and advertises a DSR-101, which I don't even think that Sadoun sells, which is why I think it's a fake.
I know that Homesat isn't a very active group anymore, but it is the oldest TVRO mailing list on the internet, and I've been a member of it since 1990, and I don't think the list deserves to be spammed. However, if indeed, Sadoun is not responsible, I don't think Sadoun deserves the bad press they are receiving from the spam.
Anyway, Sadoun, you might be interested in looking into this matter.

wejones,

Thanks for letting us know. That is not from us. We haven't sold 101 receivers for over 3 years. Could you please PM me the URL for that group? Also, you might want to ask the group owner to remove the links in the calendar.

The Homesat group is at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Home-Sat/
It isn't very active anymore, but it used to be. Someone already complained on the list, asking the ads to be removed, but they are still there. I'll repeat the request.
