rr.com was pretty quick to kill this redirect to a phoney WaMu web site:

http://rrcs-71-41-180-3.sw.biz.rr.com/redir.htm

Don't know if it came up here before, but I emailed rr.com abuse, and later that day, the link went dead. And I'm pretty sure the scammers got my email address from one of the guestbooks I used to get the 419 emails for baiting.

The original email:
