# That's superb!
I love their expressions.

TJ - Anyone else get one of those dodgy 'send us all your bank details and we'll empty your account' emails? Do people really fall for them?

Edit: PS. It's spelt José...

# I get a hell of a lot
of Nigerian bank scam emails, none of the new ones as yet. It only takes one or two daft/stupid/old people to make the whole scam well worthwhile.

Edit: How rude. Woo to the pic btw!

# Hmm
You wouldn't think it would be that hard to trace the owner of "xl4kf6vj.cjb.net"

# you mean
aside from the fact it's an anonymous redirector that's probably sending the mail through a dozen other redirects?

# my bank
has shut its site while they're going around...

seems pointless to me, it's not like those emails will tell me to go to my bank's site!

# Nigerian scams
I put my car up for sale on a 'net place, and went away for the weekend. By the time I got back, there were five mails all offering to buy the car. Would I accept a cheque in GBP, and "please to reply in busness like manner". Their spelling, not mine.

my reply: "Certainly. Tell you what, why don't I give you the keys to my house, instead? That way you can pick up the car yourself. Just leave the cheque on the kitchen sink, that'll be fine."

They didn't reply.
