Thread: Spam = jail?

    Virginia has just passed a bill that would allow fines, jail time and forfeiture of assets for spammers that send out over 10,000 e-mails or use fake headers to get around filters. The eventual goal is a national spam free list.
    Lets get something going here. I say yea as I am tired of hearing how I can rip off the Nigerian government by sending my account information or how I can make my breasts bigger without surgery.

    Dear Sir
    My name is LOI C.ESTRADA,The wife of Mr. JOSEPH
    ESTRADA, the former President of Philippines located
    in the South East Asia.
    My husband was recently impeached from office by a
    backed uprising of mass demonstrators and the Senate.
    My husband is presently in jail and facing trial on
    charges of corruption, embezzlement, and the
    mysterious charge of plunder which might lead to death sentence.
    The present government is forcing my husband out of
    Manila to avoid demonstration by his supporter.
    During my husband's regime as president of Philippine,
    I realized some reasonable amount of money from
    various deals that I successfully executed. I have
    plans to invest this money for my children's future on real
    estate and industrial production. My husband is not
    aware of this because I wish to do it secretly for
    now.
    before my husband was impeached, I secretly siphoned
    the sum of $65,000,000 million USD (Sixty Five million United
    states dollars) out of Philippines and deposited the money
    with a security firm that transports valuable goods and consignments
    through diplomatic means.
    I am contacting you because I want you to go to the
    security company and claim the money on my behalf
    since I have declared that the consignment belong to
    my foreign business partner. You shall also be
    required to assist me in investment in your country.
    I hope to trust you as a God fearing person who will
    not sit on this money when you claim it, rather assist me
    properly, I expect you to declare what percentage of
    the total money you will take for your assistance.
    When I receive your positive response I will let you
    know where the security company is
    and the payment pin code to claim the money which is
    very important.
    For now, let all our communication is by e-mail
    because my line are right now connected to the
    Philippines Telecommunication Network services. Please
    also send me your telephone and fax number.
    I will ask my son contact you to give you more details on
    after i have received a responce from you.
    Thank you and God bless you and family.
    MRS LOI C ESTRADA

    The most hilarious Howard Stern show I ever heard was when some 65 (or close to it) year old retired school teacher in Oklahoma or something called the show by accident. Turned out she was trying to reach the guy she sent 5K to - and wanted her 50K in return or something and hadn't gotten it yet. She even went so far as to wire the money to some place in Israel or something.
    Needless to say Howard had a good time poking fun at her. So I guess some people do fall for it!
    (I got that same email this morning too)
