New twist, old scam

I forwarded it to the 1st ISP in the chain and asked them to look into it. That ISP is in the UK. I doubt there is anythng the FBI can do about SPAM originating from another Country.

ah got ya - they still archive the info and at the very least they have record of the attempt. I was subjected to a spam 2 years back and had to go through the GBI and FBI - finally got released and resolved. They were great to work with.

Not so good, but my C is great.

If it looks like someone is not a native speaker, I'm all for cutting them a break - I don't nitpick them unless they ask for exactly the same reason you just gave.

It's the guys who clearly are born in the US and don't know other languages but still suck at English that bug me. Stupid stuff that's almost phonetic or you can tell is just the way they always murder pronouncing that word (for instance "pitnum arm", "would of", etc) just bugs the crap out of me, along with spelling the same word three different ways in the same sentence and punctuation abuse... the list goes on...

Agree, those are aggravating. Maybe they don't understand what the little red lines under the misspelled words stand for? They save my buttski on occasion.

Having been stationed in or visited nine different countries, and having only a tenuous grasp of two other languages than English, I realize what an idiot I must sound like when attempting to communicate in foreign places. :dunno:
