Note that this scam is now being used on Twitter and Facebook. Accounts on social networking sites are being hacked and same type of requests are being made to online friends. If you get a request for money, double or triple check ID before sending anything. Chances are you’ll discover your friend is nowhere near the location where the ‘tragedy’ occurred and that it is just a con artist trying to steal from you.

Speaking of con artists, just waiting for the day when this crime gets tweaked with a hidden continuity program. And if one pays the initial amount will there will be an additional upsell soliciting more funds. This type of con generates plenty of calls for a Website attorney to do something to the scammer.

To your success!

Internet Attorney: Spammers Should Be Executed

Enough! The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) brags about shutting down the biggest spam network (Herbal Kings) in the world. Noticed a drop of unsolicited commercial e-mail (junk mail) in your inbox as a consequence? Neither have I as an Internet attorney.

Asset forfeiture and civil judgments just aren’t enough to deter spamming when it is so profitable for those who do it.

It is time for a law that requires career spammers be executed. I’m not talking about the Internet newbie who sends you spam inadvertently after getting your business card. That’s annoying but the newbie isn’t maliciously profitting by sending tens of millions of unsolicited junk e-mails monthly that waste countless labor hours trying to delete or fix damage caused by trojans, etc.

As for those hours wasted, imagine what [Read more...]

Murdering Spammers? The Russian Solution

Tired of being spammed with Viagra ads? Think that a fine or a few years in Club Fed isn’t a punishment that suits the crime?

Instead of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the CAN-SPAM Act, the Russians apparently have a different method.

Two spammers have been assassinated since 2005…the most recent was on the receiving end of multiple bullets including one to the head.

Am I advocating vigilante justice? No.

Am I sorry these two cretins died? Nope.

In my book, those who choose to spam as their occupation should permanently lose their online access and be exiled to Siberia without a coat.
