I suggest sending a virus.
Or a bot killing virus.
Either works well.

Figthing fire with fire is not the answer. Plus, you'd be adding to the ever increasing spam-load that servers everywhere are allready struggling with...

I get scam emails every day - the whole gammut of them.* One 'interesting' one I received recently was an offer of employment (at high rates of pay) from Beach Street Consulting to transfer their 'client's' money to OS accounts.* By doing some checking I discovered that it was part of an overseas money laundering scam.* You do actually get the money they promise, but you also get a gaol sentence when their operations are finally detected by police.* A number of Australians who might have innocently thought they were doing legitmate work are up on charges right now.* Here's a link to their website.* On the surface it does seem professional and legit...albeit vague:* http://b-s-consulting.org/

Edit:* The site no longer exists.* Maybe because I reported them.* :whistle:

Hmm, who'd want to have any dealings with a company called BS Consulting anyway?:P [/b][/quote]
Hehe...exactly, Raffles. Freudian slip, perhaps?

Easy, just wait for this Asian bird flu thingy to find its way to South Africa.

I've been hearing about that too much.
Quiet, I have to build a bird shelter.

There was a radio show in iceland that got an e-mail from Nigeria from some guy who wanted money....so they decided to play along .......They got his phone number and started talking to him...and the guys on the radio show said the he was woody Allen and were going to give him money, and they had put Baron von Frankenstein and Sherlock holmes into the plot until they told him one day that they were just screwing with him, and then he said yes i was just trying to get some money

My dad got one sent to his devision at work. (Environmental scientist)
It actually sounded real. EG specific and factual references to the devision but it claimed to want a lot of money for a new zoo in senegal!!!!! so that is a bit weird!!!

Also my teacher seemed to get one and fell for it... It might be legitiment but i doubt it!
