Ok last night I came accross a site who was selling a domain parking script for $99 and it looked good. I went to the main page to save it incase they changed the scripts URL before I got $99.

On the main page he was selling 10 million emails and the program to send spam. I did a whois and seen the domain was registered at GoDaddy.

I fired off an email to GoDaddy, ThePlanet.com (his host), and Paypal and within 10 hours not only had he lost his hosting but he also lost his domain and Paypal is investigating his account.

So do you think he has learned to not sell email lists and the spam program? :P

It's possible the one you mentioned already scammed a few people. But what
you did will at least slow down the bastard.

Good job! :great:
