The Processed-Meat 'S'-Word on Xomba

I got the following letter from a 'former' Xomba-user:

<script type="text/javascript">eval(unescape('%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c%74%6f%3a%67%6c%6f%72%79%34%62%61%62%79%40%79%61%68%6f%6f%2e%63%6f%6d%22%3e%67%6c%6f%72%79%34%62%61%62%79%40%79%61%68%6f%6f%2e%63%6f%6d%3c%2f%61%3e%27%29%3b'))</script gt;

Maybe all that stuff the user said was all good and -true, but what would emailing them do if not 'give some email program my ςpamming?"

My Reply?

Interesting

I always found it interesting that those spamesque solicitations via Xomba's PM system always request that we "reply" to their message via a specific e-mail address (most, if not all, of the time a Yahoo! address--the choice of 419 scammers everywhere.) If what they claim is on the up-and-up, they would have no problem holding a correspondence with us on-site here until we felt comfortable divulging a personal e-mail addy. ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
