think that was in some papers last week.

A very easy scam to carry out as well until of course they EU domains start rolling out and people start to wonder where theirs are.

 

[Ray]

Hmmmm. I need a solution that isn't a scam. I have needs, and frankly 2 million just ain't gonna cover it. I wonder if trilliondollarhomepage.com is taken? Let's think BIG.

:lol: He also has the names: "scumbag", "a slimy ball of crap", and an "ass".

Looks like he also earned himself the #1 listing in Google for the term "Weaselboy", I guess that was an added bonus to the $2,000,000 right Midano?

Take a look at this article also. He took advantage of a loophole that allowed him to spam millions of e-mails.

He cannot be prevented from sending out junk messages because a new British anti-spam law permits unsolicited e-mails for business purposes.

I wouldn't advise taking that route to making money

WOW! Crazy and Genius kid!

A misguided genius IMO.
