International Journal of Current Research and Its Spam Email Strategy
This International Journal of Current Research is already included in the popular list of “Potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access journals” compiled by Prof. Jeffrey Beall. According to Beall, the International Journal of Current Research is a predatory journal.
Here is a sample of the spam email they have been sending me (like one email a week and I am not even a researcher). This one was sent via editor10@editorialoffice-journalcra.com.

Since I blocked and flagged spam emails from editor10@editorialoffice-journalcra.com, the journal has made it a point to change their emails every time.
In one email, the journal used currentresearch03@editorialoffice-journalcra.com. And in another one, it used currentresearch05@editorialoffice-journalcra.com. Can you spot the journal’s spamming strategy?
