Can we Work Together To get Rid of Spam Scams?
Am I the only person that receives email several times a day from several different email addresses informing me of my recent lottery winnings, or help in getting some large amount of money out of the country and for helping them cash US Money orders or some other such fraudulent scams? Surely there must be a way to get these folks put in prison. Most of us in this community are smart enough to know better than send money to these criminals, in hopes of getting the millions they have just waiting for them. However, there are many people, espicially in today's economic environment that do crazy things because they are desperate.

I realize most of these folks probably use IP masks, technology I can not even imagine and internet cafes--all to avoid being caught. But surely we have enough intelligent techs out there that can at least get us close to these folks--even if we could set up sting operations--I don't know maybe I just need to rant--it is just such a time waste and because of their clever ways it is very difficult to get them with my spam fileters--Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
