You can send an anonymous email to the people if you just pay $20. I&#8217;m not about to do that. So I do some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\">Google<\/a> research.<\/p>\n<p>I found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techstuff.ca\/archives\/archives\/2267.html\">This<\/a> which was very helpful. Reminded me of the folks at <a href=\"http:\/\/66.165.133.65\/computer\/internet\/wordofmouth.asp\">Snopes <\/a> who are always full of good information on fake viruses and scams that are out there.

Cuz <a href=\"http:\/\/security.ziffdavis.com\/article2\/0,3973,1111983,00.asp\">The Ziff Davis Security guy<\/a> has a whole story on it if you don&#8217;t believe me, or Snopes. But if that isn&#8217;t enough you can check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/news.spamcop.net\/pipermail\/spamcop-list\/2003-July\/051191.html\">Spam Cop News<\/a> page about it from earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>What bothers me is that it seems the FTC is doing nothing to cut back on the online fraud that&#8217;s going on. If you read the FAQ at the scammers website they have used all these laws to make it seem like what they&#8217;re doing is legal, when really it&#8217;s all a scam.
