Scamming Spammer Hooks the Wrong Person
CrypticSpawn writes "Read on SecurityFocus, a 55 year old woman spammed an FBI computer crime agent. She got caught mailing off a credit card scam to AOL users." Her scam targeted AOL users with messages saying their credit cards were refused during the last billing cycle, and linked to a false billing center page which demanded private information.

I mean really how stupid can you be to actually "phish" for credit card numbers now, that's so 1997. She should have become involved in a much safer fraud, like identity theft, penny stock pump and dump, or creating a company...sending a donation to the Bush election fund...getting 8 billion dollar contract for rebuilding iraq. Come on people, use your head!
A bit surprising that a 55-year-old woman knows how to use a computer.
