Why you shouldn't threaten Spammers

Booher threatened to send a “package full of Anthrax spores” to the company, to “disable” an employee with a bullet and torture him with a power drill and ice pick; and to hunt down and castrate the employees unless they removed him from their e-mail list

Booher, of Sunnyvale, California, now faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine

his computer had been rendered almost unusable for about two months by a barrage of pop-up advertising and e-mail.

Quite a nasty backfire but completly legal, good news in the uk, spam sent from the Uk is to be outlawed with fines as punishment next year.
Doesn't stop other countries spam but gives us a bit of protection. (bit)

That's a pretty funny story. If only he used a pop up blocker..... Would only fix half the problem though.

I have to say it will be a sad thing if the guy actually gets sentenced, spammers are utter scum after all.

I've been getting about 200 junk emails a week lately. And those are just the ones routed into my bulk mail folder. :flame:

What about the rest of you?

 

[SpuD]

Wtf?!

****ing spam companies, i hope that guy doesnt get sued for that much, if it happened to me, i would be telling them the same ****ing thing.

They need to realize he was joking, i guess, and he should sue them back for all the spam and advertisements on his computer.

The only time I get junk mail is when I haven't run Ad-Aware in a while.

Hehe, unfortunately yahoo is what I use. I guess I'm too lazy to change, I've been using the same address for three years.



Yahoo & the spammers. It's a conspiracy...... *cue X-files theme*

 

[Pauly]

ad-aware is good....but will mess up my internet once in a while

 

[Dax]

Did I read that right?! HE is the ONE who's getting sentenced?!?! WTF?!?!??!?!?!?!!?

Man, what I usually do when I get unwanted spam (even if I tried to unsubscribe earlier) is to spam them alot with this leet haXX0r program.. so that they get like 1000+ e-mails of some other penis enlargement ad or whatever the fu*k.

I don't if does any good but I enjoy getting revenge.

Bloody wankers, all of them. DIE! BASTARDS!! DIE!!!:flame:

 

[Brian Damage]

Actually, reading that, he probably only got arrested because of the anthrax threat...

 

[Fat_Bob]

I think that they didn't get his joke acctually.. cuz i wouldn't take it as a joke if someone threatned me with castrating me and killing me with a ice-pick to the head... if you're intrested in how a real torture can look like without being disgusted with "horrible" pictures.. you can visit ***** the most disgusting site i've ever seen...

I think we should start up a charity for this poor shmuck.
