    The money can be very big for those who succeed in getting enough suckers to use their services. Hopefully the guy will get 5+ and it becomes a deterrent to other scum buckets out there.

    As I wrote to a select committee about this subject
    "In my opinion spam is an invasion of my privacy and is basically on a similar level to someone breaking and entering into my home. The claim that spam is not a crime and does not hurt anyone is total rubbish as the costs involved to a person on a per Mb connection can add up to many dollars over a year. Add to that the time involved deleteing spam and the costs of spamfilters etc and you have a direct financial loss to the person being spammed."

    Well said Russ! I bet it didn't result in a single less piece of spam in your inbox though ;)
