Well, I just got the email from some unknown person ... but if you go to his home directory, it is something else.
Especially when you go to http://66.197.244.202/briggs/ :(:|:S
So be careful, don't type in your password.

Sometimes I'm just shocked by the stupidity of the general population.

We need laws against spam not scam. Anyone stupid enough to fall for this will find a way to lose their money no matter what laws are in place to protect them. The real crime here is that this email is spam and for that there *must* be laws.

I agree, anyone stupid enough to click on that link deserves what they get. Don't people read those LEGIT email companys send out? We never ask you for your password etc etc. The dead give away on that one though, is the link itself. Come on people!!! How many times do you type in 216.32.120.133 to go to ebay!

Anyone who is dumb enough to fall for that deserves what they get and should be prohibited from accessing the internet indefinitely. Much like L.A.'s freeways, the 'net is clogged with imbeciles who don't have the slightest clue what they are doing.

However, as much as I despise the online "short-bus riders" I despise criminals and frauds even more. I'm all for capital punishment for these nutless wonders.
