The journal that spammed me is the Journal of Forensic Medicine Forecast. It is not limited to forensic medicine (present, past, forecasted), but " covers all the areas like digital and multimedia sciences, ... forensic physical evidence, ... crime scene investigation, ... etc." It is infatuated with toxicology, listing such subjects as "toxicological, human toxicology, applied toxicology, experimental toxicology, and environmental toxicology." It started in 2018 and has one issue with two "editions."
The US editors are said to be

Braverman, USC Keck School of MedicineSpokeo indicates that the address of 14439, Turin Ln, Centreville, VA 20121, provided in the email and website is that of a three-bedroom condominium occupied by K.

(not listed in the USC directory as a faculty member, but an Eric K. Braver is a co-author with Kenneth Blum in the very flaky Medical Research Archives (and elsewhere); is on the quackwatch website, has had his medical license suspended; founded and directed a health service provider found by the New York Attorney General to have engaged in deceptive and misleading business practices)
⊘ Kenneth Blum, University of Florida
(not in the University of Florida directory, but a Bloomberg database lists Kenneth Blum as an "Adjunct Full Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, The University of Florida, College of Medicine and McKnight Brain Institute in Gainsville, Florida," and formerly a "Full Professor at the Department of Pharmacology, University of Texas"; Wikipedia states that a Kenneth Blum "originated the term 'reward deficiency syndrome', a concept that is largely recognized as pseudoscience" and that "Blum is listed by Quackwatch as a promoter of questionable health products"; a Kenneth Blum speaks at OMICS conferences and edits (and is the principal author of) a self-promoting journal for a publisher on Beall's list of predatory journals)
⊘ Lewis Mustard, University of California
(LinkedIn lists a "lewis mustard, Professor at UCLA Extension, Durham, North Carolina" who has a Ph.D. in health administration from Union Institute and University and was the CEO of a consulting firm)
