They got one of the buggers behind it. And seems he's an Aussie pensioner, any suggestions what we should do to this spamming scumbag?

[ReaperFett]

Always cracks me up people fall for things like that. I mean, a Shiek? It's obviously fake!



....oh, wait, THAT was a scam? :uhoh

$571,302 from a Saudi sheik.

Must be a part of the royal family. either that, or shieks have really huge collection plates.
