OT: Interesting Emails

[Baron Munchausen]

I've had a degree of success in reporting scammers to their email providers, btw. When you get those 'give us your bank account number so we can transfer funds out of the country' Messages just view source (to get the real point of origin in the headers) and send them to abuse @ <source> -- BOTH the email reply-to address (because that's the pickup/contact point) and the actual source for the email. It only takes seconds and lots of ISPs will respond by at least closing the account(s) involved. I have substantially reduced the amount of this sort of spam that I am getting by being persistent with this counter-measure.
