"Project Honey Pot is the first and only distributed system for identifying spammers and the spambots they use to scrape addresses from your website."

On Wednesday, December 9, 2009 at 06:20 (GMT) Project Honey Pot received its billionth email spam message. The message, a picture of which is displayed below, was a United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) phishing scam. The spam email was sent by a bot running on a compromised machine in India (122.167.68.1). The spamtrap address to which the message was sent was originally harvested on November 4, 2007 by a particularly nasty harvester (74.53.249.34) that is responsible for 53,022,293 other spam messages that have been received by Project Honey Pot.

Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

I'd just like to know where all those spammers got the very mistaken idea that part of my body needs "enhancing".

Ugly rumor. Ugly, ugly.

  I have received that particulat email . . .  Plus others from that appeared to be from Bank of America, PayPal and others.

  Reject any emails that ask for personal information.

I just wish they would make up there mind, is it the part of me below the belt that needs help, or the parts above the belt that need help!
The problem with foolproof devices is that they fail to take into account the ingenuity of fools

I just want the extra 3 inches. [waiting]

You have probably already gotten your share.  If you ever wonder if you are or not just remember each time that you have to open your belt to another hole. ;)

Don't worry Stink I did.
