Anyone who might consider doing business with VSTORE.CA might
be interested in their [lack of] handling of this particular
spammer.

xxxxxed out part of the URL to prevent the spammer from
getting any advertising to his real site now that his redirector
is toast. For anyone who wants to verify that the site is still
there, in spite of Sherif's promise to "handle this issue from
here", simply replace "xxxxxx" with "herbals".
