Kudos to Jeffrey Beall, and regrets for the negative spam you have endured.
Jeffrey, even though it may create some extra traffic for everyone on this
listserv, may I suggest that you forward at least examples of the offending
spam attacks, so that we are all well informed and can perhaps help or
independently evaluate those messages. I realize that I am asking for something
that everyone may not appreciate nor that may be acceptable to members of this
list or to the moderator, but nothing serves to expose darkness like light. In
any case, keep up the good work, despite the efforts to curtail it!
Best wishes,
Paul

My reaction: thank you, Jeffrey Beall! - both for the important service of
tracking those predatory open access publishers, and for exposing this attempt
to discredit you. Bravo!

[Forwarding from Jeffrey Beall, via the ScholComm list. --Peter

Colleagues,
I am the author of Scholarly Open Access, a blog that includes lists
of questionable scholarly publishers and questionable independent
journals.
I'm writing to let people that I've been the victim of an ongoing,
organized attempt to discredit me and my blog.
Specifically, I've been a victim of email spoofing, in which someone
is sending emails that appear to be from me but really are not.
One of the spoofed emails is an offer to reevaluate a publisher's
presence on my list for five thousand dollars. These emails try to
make it look like I am extorting money from publishers.
Also, someone is going around setting up new blogs that reprint the
spoofed email or that include contrived quotes from scholars. An
example is here.
Additionally, someone is leaving negative comments about me and my
work on various OA-related blogs and websites, writing in the names of
people prominent in the OA movement. One place this occurred was in
the comments section of my October Nature piece. The publisher has
removed these spurious statements and closed further comments.
I'm going to continue my work identifying questionable and predatory
publishers as best I can. Because many of the publishers on my list
are true criminals, it's no surprise that they would respond in a
criminal way.
I realize my blog is not perfect; I've made mistakes and have tried to
learn from them. Many of you have given me valuable advice, and I have
tried to implement the good advice as best I could. I have not engaged
in any of the activities that they are trying to frame me with.
Thanks for your understanding.
