Thats not so new.

The one that pissed me off was during the Tsunami efforts getting spam mails asking for money to "unauthorized" relieve funds. @#$% riping off people's good nature and charity to make a buck.

I know there are people like this out there. However, don't come around me.

I expect similar things to start appearing after Hurricane Katrina.

Yeah I remember that one about the Tsunami efforts and that disgusted me as well.

What I dont understand is why they can't catch more of these scumbags. If they're able to nab the virus makers, then it's possible to track these criminals down as well.

It takes much more intelligence to create a virus. These phishers are a dime-a-dozen, there is simply too many of them, many more than virus makers and most of them are in Hong Kong, Sinagpore, Russia, or China ... they will never be caught.
