BillyVance 35 #7 July 10, 2007 We have been invaded by spammers before... anybody remember the new user who pm'ed a bunch of us saying she was a hottie and would we go out with her or something?

McDuck 0 #11 July 10, 2007 Sometimes it's fun to bait these 419 scammers, you know, lead them along, get them to send YOU money to cover your costs for taking the bus to the nearest bank to set up an account, or something like that. There's at least one site dedicated to scam-baiting: 419Eater.Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
