Some idea of the scale of spamming and online fraud, is the documents at http://gbclaw.net/caseno-12-cv-1973 that you get taken to if you click on a URL to cheap Ugg footwear.
Hundreds of e-mails, domains, fake profiles etc. etc. Somebody must be making some serious money somewhere. _________________

Perhaps if they annoy enough, they'll earn the ire of the slashdot.com community. What they did to Mr. Rawlsky is just classic
Lets just say that some people got so annoyed with his inundating their email boxes, a law student with access to government databases posted the address to a house he was paying to build, from his own news interview he indicated from money he made sending 1 billion unsolicited emails per day (before he took up residence and from town hall records with the building permits, deed for sale, etc), his unlisted phone number, and his work email address all online. And with that was like "I don't know what this will do for my own personal karma, but have fun boys". He complained months latter that anti-spammers are out of their minds, and griped that they signed him up for every advert known to man. With the several mail bags full (probably over 100 lbs of adverts) dropped at his door everyday, he threatened to sue, neglecting to see the irony that as the self proclaimed king of spam, he made his living doing pretty much the same thing. The justice department didn't fail to see the irony, after he made waves in legal circles, they started investigating him instead... I guess someone fogot to tell him about the legal doctrine of unclean hands /rofl  _________________
