Nah, I can't rememeber which county did this. But I do remember they used to cut the person hands off if they steal anything. Keeping that in mind, maybe they could cut off 1 finger per spam e-mail they send out. :beer:. Then if they still spam and dont have any fingers left some how. They could rip off there lip's or something. lol

On a side note. One time a person sent me a virus by e-mail. My anti-virus software did pick it up fine. I tracked down the persons ISP and called them and raised hell. The user that sent me it got their connection cut off.

WOW.

When you say it like that, it seems obvious that its a fraud.

When you havent encountered one, havent heard specific details of one.... some email that 'looks' legit can appear to be so until you pick apart the minor details.

Got a paypal one, saying it had been compromised or something. I was quite sure it was a scam since I've never had an paypal account.

You mean the minor details like where it originated?

Thats it exactly! I never seen one before until now.

It's fun to mouseover the hyperlinks in those e-mails just to check out the random IP address they route you through

It's even more obvious if you look at the message headers, I really doubt eBay mail would be coming from svr10.edns1.com or cathoo.schedom-europe.net or georg.rochester.edu
