I’ve been intending to set my old Protest Warrior email to bounce, since all I get there now are viruses and spam thanks to some idiot script-kiddie and Indymedia. However, it has been informative. I’ve learned today that the 419 scammers have branched out. Instead of being from some unfortunate soul in Nigeria, the latest one was from “MR JIMMY BAZHAYEV” of “CHECHNYA,RUSSIA.” Mr. Bazhayev is seeking my “ABLE ASSISTANCE TO RECEIVE THE SUM OF US $15,500,000.00(FIFTEEN MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ONLY).”
It amazes me that they keep sending this crap to people, since it can only mean that someone, somewhere is responding.

Ok, Ok. I’ll stop offering to take their offer if they send me $1million up front and use the various amounts necessary for the transfer fees. Sheesh, try to make some free money and scam some guys out of their ill-gotten drug money. Guy can’t make a dishonest living any more.
Found your blog Googling “links like this one” thing.
I’ll add you on my blogroll for fun, and if you get a chance do a search for “In Search of Utopia”. He has alot of fun with spammers letters.
