 Did you not hear about the Revenue Canada employee that got nailed with this, and then used the government phone and email to try to contact the guy to get his money back? He racked up like a 6k bill before getting caught. All the government did was slap him on the writst.. didnt have to pay back the bill. Oh to be a government union employee.

 [FONT size=3] It was great to read how this guy got his own back on the scammers, lol. The only scams I ever get are from so-called banks wanting my bank details, I just wish I knew enough about the internet to trace some of these idiots.
