Today I recieved the following e-mail in three of my catcher accounts.

Quote:

My sick child needs help!

It is so difficult to see my child suffer of the pain he is going trough. I wish I could take his pain away from him, but unfortunately that is impossible. My child Ramesh is suffering from leukemia, a terminal illness which is very difficult to cure, especially for me. I can't afford to pay my son his medications to get cured. I am a widow, I lost my husband several years ago, that means that we are financially unstable. We don't have any income. Sometimes I try to sell bread on the street to earn money to put food on our table. This money is not enough to help my son. This is why I have decided to reach out for help to goodhearted people around the world. Trough e-mail. This is my last hope. My son is in desperate need of help. And if I am not on time to help him, he might leave me behind. If you are reading this, and want to help, please do. You CAN help, and donate any amount to us, even if it is 1 cent, because no amount is to small to bring my child a step closer to health. Don't hesitate. Ramesh, my child needs financial support to buy his medications, so he will get cured, before it is to late.
You can see more details about the illness leukemia and my son Ramesh on this webpage:[url] http://rameshmohammed.spaces.live.com/[/url]
If you are willing to help, to donate any amount, then you can send me an e-mail on [email protected]&nbs p;

Tastless pictures included in the e-mail. Here are the headers

^ Can one of the experts explain the 3 lines at the bottom of the second quote?
Looks like 1 box directing to three others? Am I reading that right?

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 11:24 am

on the website she claims to be from India. The IP address resolves to China.

Pics are not nice to look at.

I really hate this person.

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 1:16 pm

Not that I'm an expert, but it looks like the lad might just have three address book entries for three different email addresses. The "[email protected]" bit is probably just the text label on the entry, the "people friendly name". But I doubt most address books let you label multiple entries identically. I suppose it could be one entry with three addresses in it, however. Something like

Quote:

Bob Smith [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Might be breaking it out over 3 lines and putting the label next to each address.

Or it could be a mass mailer thing. Some of those will do interesting things to the To and From lines in an effort to dodge spam filters. Like making the message appear to come from you, until you look at the actual From address. If I had to guess, I would probably go with the mass mailer explanation.

We know this scammer. It's the one we had before and he's back on Windows Live Space. Twisted Evil

Standard operating modality is to leave the offensive website up for the moment. There's no account mentioned there that I can see. Maybe he has learned from his previous scamming enterprises.

Anyone got a knife ? Go in straight and come out bloody.

This is where he took the pictures from - and the child died some years ago, soon after the pictures were taken

CAUTION - THE PICTURES YOU WILL SEE FOLLOWING THIS LINK MAY UPSET SOME PEOPLE

http://www.pbase.com/bvcuma/sick_child

and he still has the old Google Blog Site running

Thanks for the info Gomer.

Is there anyway we could get him to visit England?

I'd pay for 5 minutes alone with him Twisted Evil

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 7:18 pm

He must be insane. I find it hard to believe he has ever made a penny out of this.

I was going to put a more unpleasant remark about what I'd like to do to him, but then reconsidered that there is no need for me to make my feelings known by being as offensive as he is.

It's just a case of piling in and getting as many straight baits on him as possible. I don't usually bait straight, but for this type of scammer I'll glady make an exception.

Time to set up another new mail account.

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 7:20 pm

I can't believe that this guy hasn't given up and gone to live at the top of a mountain after the grief we put him through last time. Oh well, I'm with you Gomer, let the games begin Twisted Evil

The IP does resolve to China but he was in Holland last time he popped up so i'm guessing he's probably faking his IP or using a proxy, I somehow doubt he's relocated to Beijing.

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 7:22 pm

I want to stab him/her also... with a big knife.

I'll send him a nice welcome letter tomorrow... too busy today.

100% correct Gomer, the more baiters the better on this twat.
I seem to remember we had a nightmare killing the site last time so i would suggest taking it out now and repeat kill any other crappy site he builds early on.

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 7:46 pm

The blog spot site is, I think, unkillable. I've repeatedly emailed Google about it and got the same bullshit 'freedom of speech' constantly. Then they stopped responding alltogether. Hopefully the other hosts will be more receptive then Google.

The blog has been abandoned mate, the comments are still there from the last time we attacked it.
I still think we should kill the main site if its attached to his spamming. Any objections?

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 7:57 pm

^^^It just narks me that we can't get that blog removed totally, as for killing the main one, I'd say lets do it!

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 8:00 pm

No - go ahead bombardier - we'll all be glad to see any pain that can be brought to him. The first stab in him will be the sweetest, though not the last. My mail has gone. So straight I can't believe it.

Don't give any identifiable details of your baits in forum as I feel it likely he knows us well. Let him sort out the baiters from any real offers.

I'll be launching baits at him from all angles, just so he knows how much we love him. MS did the right thing last time which was good to see.

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 8:06 pm

First email sent, definitely a straight bait here. Abuse report sent to Microsoft.

Abuse report also sent

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 9:15 pm

I'm happy to follow the 'Leaders' and throw a 'straight' reply in to this sick moron.

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 9:21 pm

^^^The more the merrier on this scumbag mate.

Posted: Wed May 23, 2007 7:42 am

I'm in. Straight baiting.

Posted: Wed May 23, 2007 8:01 am

Count me in. Evil or Very Mad

Posted: Wed May 23, 2007 10:02 am

I'm in as well. Straight as an arrow. I wont be publishing anything until this is over.

Even more than Death Threat Mugu, this guy deserves anything we can throw at him, and a lot more.

Posted: Wed May 23, 2007 10:58 am

I'll post what happens with mine - but I'll delay reporting any bites (going in with an assortment from a variety of hosts) so that he can't get any clues from the thread. I also won't give any detail that will help him to sift out my baits.

For the best of intentions a link was put on his previous site, so he knows we will be on him, and it is clear he has learned some new tricks. No need for us to educate him If you get anything interesting just pm thedevguy Rodus or myself. The more people dropping mail into his inbox the better.

I'll go in as little old ladies, church groups, charities and wealthy philanthropists - or not. He is governed by greed, and will undoubtedly be paranoid. They are his two weaknesses to play on. If he sets aside greed, he won't get any payoff, and if he sets aside paranoia, he'll make mistakes.

The hyena that always drinks from the same waterhole is easy bait. Evil or Very Mad

Bait sent, let's keep this low life real busy.

He seems to have changed the site so that you can no longer leave comments for all to see. Wonder why he would do that?
