I have no idea what "Easton Bureau of Justice " is but phisers are the idiots that fake mails from PayPal* and lure people to a fake site to get their userid and password so they can milk the PayPal account.

* PayPal is just an example it could be anything.

Easton is a manufacturer of sporting equipment including aluminum baseball bats :rolleyes: .
The same penalty should be applied to those who release, viruses, worms, trojans and the like.

But phishers and the like only exist because there are so many stupid people out there that fall for their lures. If we make it a crime to be stupid everything would be much nicer. :)

Lets get the disease, not the symptom. :)

Just report it if its a thread. Very simple too. :)

Works easily. The threads are gone faster than my money in my bank account after buying camera stuff....
