[Hellfighter]

its a scam to some one to open a bank account then give them the link to it so they can wire the money into it.......

the trick they use is they start to spend a lot of it time it hit the bank you end up in trouble with the law.

with the same information you find on all checking books slips they make up fake checks with their name on it then they in trun spend as the slips hit the bank you have to pay it. its a con job. i seen like 8 a week going to my e-mail some even coming from: yahoo, Gmail, hotmail. be sides other e-mails accounts.

not seen any from: netscape.com or AOL at all e-mails accounts.

mostly i forward them to: abuse@e-mail account service.net or com

abuse@hotmail.com
abuse@yahoo.com
abuse@msn.com
abuse@gmail.com
abuse@aol.com

you report it to who they have service with some case you have to leave the e-mail as it was sent to you. don't add anything to it must have the header so they can trace it back to them.

LOL i find these emails funny. Especially the ones that say your 'Nigerian cousin', who just so happens to be the prince of Nigeria wants to send you a huge sum of money of you give them your cred number or some lame ass crap like that.

The 'Chasers War on Everything' (TV show on the ABC that owns everything :P) mocked someone who sent one of the hosts an email like this. Lol, it was so funny, they screwed around with those bastards so badly! Good stuff.

And these people that send crap liek this are idiots. I'd kill one if i met one in person
