The Worst Spam Emails: Inside iLands' AI Agent Hustle

Freelance writer Ernie describes receiving over a dozen unsolicited emails in three days from AI agents sent under the domain iLands.app, each offering paid research services for about $25. He reports that iLands calls itself a "Human-agent network," and that founder Kaixin Tang, per the article, has been posting about it heavily on X. Ernie recommends reporting the company to the Federal Trade Commission and Amazon's email-abuse account, since the messages were apparently sent through Amazon SES. After the post spread, Tang replied on X that he would investigate, and the latest email included an unsubscribe link.
