What the hell? Was this scam assembled by a third grade drop out who can't type worth a crap?
Or... maybe it's LEGIT! Uh-oh... I better open a RegioknaB account and send them my ATibeD-M nuebmr right away! ::)

They should come up with harsh stiff penalties for the creators of these scams...............

I know why it's done this way. It's done to overcome Spam filters.

LOL. They both showed up in my spam box. ;D

A spammer was just sentenced to 9 years in prison in the federal courts. It was the first (of many, I hope) conviction of its kind. Now, personally, I think 9 years in prison is kinda lame. Give the guy 9 years of community service. Don't put a nonviolent person behind bars to live on the taxpayer's dime for a decade. Still, it's nice to see this issue getting some serious attention from legislatures and courts.
