Portrait of an Identity Thief
Ant writes to tell us that the New York Times has a closer look and an interview with an identity theft addict. From the article: "As far back as 2002, Mr. Sharma began picking the locks on consumer credit lines using a computer, the Internet and a deep understanding of online commerce, Internet security and simple human nature, obtained through years of trading insights with like-minded thieves in online forums. And he deployed the now-common rods and reels of data theft -- e-mail solicitations and phony Web sites -- that fleece the unwitting."
What, is stealing someone's identity this year's new black/bipolar? It's not a fucking mental illness. ....jackass.
Are you saying bi-polar isn't a mentel illness? strange, since my psychiatrist seems to beleive it is. and the prescriptions i take for my bi-polar help ALOT.
But since you don't have it it's not real huh?
To err is human; effective mayhem requires the root password!
Most nations outlaw guns because they are used for murdering (and robbing and raping) people. There are notable exceptions where you are constitutionally guaranteed the right to be killed with your own loaded handgun that you kept in your bedside drawer where the burglars can easily find it.
