Yeesh... another 419 scam email... by Shadowclaw2003-11-06 04:53:25
  You *can* make them stop by Hlloyge 2003-11-06 12:08:15
...temporarily at least...

BTW: is that the same as Nigerian (and such) scams?

Well, I report those immediately to the mail provider where scammer has the contact address. Usually it works.

Strange but true that Hotmail usualy reacts fastest and to my great satisfaction promptly closes scammer's account.

If only M$ would stick to mail providing business, instead of... *Sigh*

Be as it may, some scammers have learned the lesson in the meantime too, and use African mail providers. Seems that these don't have such strict policies and there's not much use complaining to them... (AFAIK)
