Bank Robbers! (Lindsay Baers)

O.K. There's frequently a good deal of entertainment to be had from observing the raw stupidity of the spam that hits the inbox. This one caught my eye as a good example of the short bus mentality of many spam messages... The gist of it is as follows...

Re: Success Starts Here!

Have you ever driven up to the bank and seen the guards
loading bags of money into the armored truck and dreamed
about just one...or even all of those bags...getting
loaded into your trunk?

Guess what? Taking checks from the bank is JUST AS GOOD!
Last month I took $87,978 from local banks and YOU CAN TOO.

In fact you won't believe how easy it is to virtually
steal $4000...$10,000 or MORE each and every month until
you do it yourself.

I want to show you my simple system and help you get rich
too.

Best of success,

Hmmm... Appealing to those people who fancy themselves the felonious sort...

Either way, I did a little whois lookup and the source of this spam seems to be the following individual, who is listed as the contact for this and another domain involved in the spam-fest that yielded this treasure...

So I called Lindsay, and the amazing part is she picked up. Now, it's very unusual for me to find a spammer so quickly. Either way I asked her why she was spamming me. Instead of answering the question, she asks why I don't just unsubscribe... sigh.... So I ask her where she got my email address, and she asks me what it is...

O.K., stupid, I know. Like shooting fish in the barrel, but...

Since she already has it, I give it to her for her to look up in her "database of victims". She says she will call me back with the source database.. Um, yeah, and I'm a Chinese Fighter Pilot...

Oh well..

Any legal eagles out there know if there's a lawsuit one could launch for mental anguish, anti-anxiety pill costs, or maybe therapy brought on by chicks like the Lindsay Baers?
