Email Scams (ESCAM)

[chaoslord]

Is there anyone out there who makes it their business to track these people down and try to something about these type of scams? There must be something that can be done. Like if we knew their IP address, lets say we find a webserver for them, next create a tool that continuously downloads their website until they run out of bandwidth. This is not a denial of service attack, it just simulates tons of users viewing their page until they run out of bandwidth, then their site is inaccessible until the next month or until they pay for more bandwidth.

There must be a way we can start returning the favor. If their cost went substantially up they might have to stop. Also, once their site is down, there is at least a period when maybe at least part of their business is down.

There may be other ways also.
