2nd SPAM/PHISH
This is the 2nd email I received in just over 2 weeks in my personal email from a mystery/make pretend member on our forum. Sure would be cool to be able to find the person who is generating these ignorant emails. The from line in the email said...kwaussi from Harley Davidson Forums.

RE: 2nd SPAM/PHISH
I haven't gotten any of these from this site, but I see them all the time. First, let me start by saying...anyone who gets fooled by this probably shouldn't be allowed to use the internet
Second...when I see these, I take it as an opportunity to use as many four letter words as possible in one reply email. Hell...sometimes I even invent new words.

LISTEN UP....back when that scam first started, a freind of mine fell for it (little bit different story in the e-mail) and sent money to the guy. Needless to say, he spent the next 6 months trying to get his money back. Took him for $375.00 American. I see you're savy to what's going on...but make sure you don't have any family or freinds that would fall for that crap. Peace.

I've tried several times to write back to these guys over the years but most of the time it's a dead end. They use phony addresses and names and you have to be an email IP server guru to figure out where that stuff comes from.
I really would like the chance to give 'em a good cussin' if I could ever get through to them. Let them Nigerians know that I hope a herd of flea infested rhinos would stampede and run them all over (the scammers).

Too bad about your bud losing that $375, that's a pretty fair amount of cash to just never see again. I've heard that some older folks got these emails and lost several thousand dollars. I can't believe anyone could take money from a retired person like that and be able to live with themselves. Takes all kinds, usually the worst kinds.

There must be enough people falling for this crap out of greed, ignorance or both to keep these things going, they've been around for as long as there's been an Internet, telelphone or plain old snail mail.
