As far as I know, they have stopped but keep using my name "Michael Sagt", in which sagt is not my last name (idiots). However, the link usually points to another site. I thought at first that it was automated but they did not post my article. The information is totally private so you could email them at BUSTED-SCAMS.COM (*at*) domainsbyproxy.com, which I did and if does not work contact GoDaddy directly to report them.

How pathetic is the majority of Americans where we trust emails sent by god knows who, yet we give money to bums on the street stating they're just trying to "get some gas money." It's the gullible's that make me want to pull my hair out! Secondly, I noticed how everything evil in the world is blamed on the "Hackers," and personally I'm sick of the accusation. Hackers in general have nothing to do with it. I am a proud hacker, as well as some other super pessimists I know. We are hackers, because we hack, which in case some of you have forgotten, means to mess around with. In the last couple of decades, it has evolved to mean someone who messes around with computers, or a "computer hacker." In no way does this mean we partake in phreaking, phishing, scamming, cracking and demolishing others' personal belongings and reputations...it simply means that we are people that want to know and customize how things work! Think of it this way: The watermelon originally came in 1 major variety...the kind with seeds. It was a "Watermelon Hacker (otherwise known as an organic geneticist) who created the seedless variety. That's not to say that the true evildoers aren't hackers as well. After all, they do manage to mess with a lot of people's minds and wallets, but I would think a good alternative title for them would be "Douchebags." Next time you hear someone use the word HACKER in conjunction with identity theft or fraud, please correct them.
