<p>Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I am Mrs. Rebecca Garang the widow of late Dr. John Garang who was until his death the vice president of Sudan in Africa. In brief, my late husband was a strong opposition to the incumbent government and for over 22yrs he indefatigably fought for the independence and liberation of the marginalized South Sudan people until he was appointed the vice president on the 9th of July 2005 following the cease fire agreement that was signed on the 9th of January 2005. His appointment was largely<br />
welcomed by the International Community and was seen as an avenue to quench the decades of civil war in Sudan. </p>
<p>He died on the 31st of July 2005 following a helicopter crash alongside with 12 others just 22days after his appointment as the vice president. What led to the helicopter crash is still unclear but I know that my husband was the target. <br />
&nbsp;<br />
I want to confide and entrust to you a very important matter and do kindly request for your private telephone numbers to enable me contact you for more confidential explanations. <br />
&nbsp;<br />
Yours sincerely</p>
<p>Mrs. Rebecca Garang<br />
Juba South Sudan<strong><font color="#ff0000"><font size="4">&quot;</font></font></strong></p>

Go ask him for help, I mean, you seem pretty chummy with him, and he&#8217;s a real easy target for a SCAM, you stupid git.</p>
<p>And, why must your route your email through India and the Czech Republic if you live in South Sudan?</p>

<p align="left">My pals over at <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&amp;articleId=9060340&amp;source=NLT_AM&amp;nlid=1" target="_blank">ComputerWorld</a> had this bit of good news to share this morning!</p>
<div align="left">
<blockquote>
<p><strong><font size="4" color="#ff0000">&quot;</font></strong>&quot;Online scam artists should be on notice that we will continue to work closely with our international partners to ensure that there are no safe geographic boundaries for committing these crimes,&quot; Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher of the DOJ&#8217;s Criminal Division said in a statement.<strong><font size="4" color="#ff0000">&quot;</font></strong></p>
</blockquote>
</div>
<p align="left"><font size="4" color="#ff0000"><font size="2"><font color="#000000"><a href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&amp;articleId=9060340&amp;source=NLT_AM&amp;nlid=1" target="_blank">Jump over to read the entire article</a>, it&#8217;s a good read.</font></font></font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="4" color="#ff0000"><font size="2"><font color="#000000">In other ho-hum news, the FTC, IMNSHO, <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&amp;articleId=9060278&amp;source=NLT_AM&amp;nlid=1" target="_blank">wimped out on this deal!</a> Sorry, FTC, but I don&#8217;t call this a harsh enough penalty for these vermin:</font></font></font></p>
<div align="left">
<blockquote>
<p><strong><font size="4" color="#ff0000">&quot;</font></strong>The settlement requires Member Source Media to disclose the costs and obligations associated with the advertised products and services, and bars the company from sending e-mail that violates the CAN-SPAM Act, which regulates the sending of unsolicited e-mail. The company must also pay $200,000 in civil penalties, according to the settlement approved Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.<strong><font size="4" color="#ff0000">&quot;</font></strong></p>
</blockquote>
</div>
<p align="left">This will only work if the FTC puts this scuzzbag under a microscope and closely monitors every move. Chris Sommer should have been cut off at the &quot;jewels&quot; and left destitute in a cardboard shack in Nigeria with the crew from the first article.</p>

<p align="left">So, yesterday I got my feathers all ruffled and set off to right the wrongs of the evil-doers against us honest bloggers who work hard to rid the virtual world of all dirtbags and make the Interwebs a happy place for those NooB&#8217;s out there floating around on the bandwidth without a clue.</p>
<div align="left">
<p>Readers should note that this action usually ends badly for moi; the squeaky wheel doesn&#8217;t get any grease, and the flogging continues until I back down and return to my corner to sob about the injustices of the world, and how MEAN PEOPLE TOTALLY SUCK.</p>
</div>
<div align="left"><img align="left" alt="" src="http://melissa.blog.stonybrook.edu/files/2008/01/busted-gone.png" />Waaayulllll, Shiver my timbers and bust my buckle, and toss in a &quot;Holy Crap&quot; to really drive home my enthusiasm!</div>
<p align="left">I&#8217;m happy to report that, [although my morning didn&#8217;t start well, after all, I had to wake up, and then it was dark and rainy&#8230;&#8230;] things have perked up considerably since getting my morning bucket of coffee!</p>
<p align="left">Busted-scams is, well, B.U.S.T.E.D!</p>
<p align="left">I found a letter in my inbox this morning from the domain owner. As he has requested that I not include the contents of the letter or his name online, I will respect that and just let you know the basic gist of the letter.</p>
<p align="left">He says that he owns hundreds of domain names and that he normally just &quot;parks&quot; the unused ones so they earn a bit of ad income. He decided to allow an intern to have some fun with this and 4 other domains and do whatever he wanted with them. The intern mentioned something about programs, but in his hurried schedule he did not devote any time to the details about what programs his intern wanted to use.</p>
<div align="left">The intern used a &quot;content scraper&quot; to populate these domains.</div>
<p align="left">I sincerely hope this intern has learned a hard lesson and will use the experience to grow into a respectable and honest IT professional rather than just another one of the rotten filth roaming the Web looking to screw the innocent and make a quick buck/rouble/yuan/euro at the expense of the rest of us!</p>
<p align="left">I&#8217;ll be prominently placing my <a target="_blank" href="http://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a> license on this site as soon as I can figure out why it throws an error in my WP&micro; server.</p>
<p align="left">Stealing is a crime; it diminishes the soul of the thief and causes harm, whether financial or spiritually, to the victim. While words themselves can not be &quot;owned&quot;, the composition of many words into a work can, and is, owned by the composer, just as is music or artwork. You will be a much happier person, inside and out, if you EARN your life rather than steal it from someone else!</p>
<p align="left">So, good Netizens of the Interwebs, us <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underdog_%28TV_series%29">Underdog</a>s won this one. But, we can not sit on our laurels, or our tuckus, we have much to do yet.</p>

<p align="left">As readers will <a target="_blank" href="http://melissa.blog.stonybrook.edu/2008/01/29/scam-stolen-content/">recall</a>, there is an individual blog that is stealing content from who knows how many of us honest bloggers trying to bring the light of day to the sleazebags of the world to protect all the good citizens of the Interwebs&#8230;..</p>
<p align="left">Well, if you&#8217;ve been robbed, here is some info for you. I received this in response to my Cease &amp; Desist demand to hostgator:</p>
<div align="left">
<blockquote>
<p><strong><font size="4" color="#ff0000">&quot;</font></strong>Hi,</p>
<p>HostGator requires DMCA notices to be filed via fax or letter. The complaint must include full contact information in the complaint (including phone number). We will call and verify. Email (unless digitally signed by a verified and trusted third party) is not an acceptable medium for legal complaints.&nbsp; This ticket system has received what appears to be a possible DMCA complaint, but one or more of the following are missing: (a) the complaint does not contain sufficient information (b) the format of the complaint is inconsistent with the requirements of the DMCA (c) the complaint has been submitted via email without proper authentication (d) full contact information is missing. We will need you to re-submit your claim, using the proper format, including sufficient detai, via postal mail or fax. Instructions on how to do so follow.</p>
<p>It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. This response describes the information that should be present in these notices. It is designed to make&nbsp; submitting notices of alleged infringement to us as straightforward as possible while reducing the number of notices that we receive that are fraudulent or difficult to understand or verify. The form of notice specified below is consistent with the form suggested by the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site, http://www.copyright.gov) but we will respond to notices of this form from other jurisdictions as well.</p>
<p>To file a notice of infringement with us, you must provide a written communication that sets forth the items specified below. Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys&#8217; fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.</p>
<p>To expedite our ability to process your request, please use the following format (including section numbers):</p>
<p>1. Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed upon (for example, &quot;The copyrighted work at issue is the text that appears on http://www.hostgator.com/tos.shtml&quot;) or other information sufficient to specify the copyrighted work being infringed (for example, &quot;The copyrighted work at issue is &ldquo;Intellectual Property: Valuation, Exploitation, and Infringement Damages&rdquo; by Gordon V. Smith, published by Wiley, ISBN #047168323X&quot;).</p>
<p>2. Identify the material that you claim is infringing the copyrighted work listed in item #1 above. You must identify each web page that allegedly contains infringing material. This requires you to provide the URL for each allegedly infringing result, document, or item.</p>
<p>An example:</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Infringing Web Pages:&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; http://www.thewebsite.com/directory/<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; http://www.thewebsite.com/something/blah.html</p>
<p>3. Provide information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you.</p>
<p>4. Provide information, if possible, sufficient to permit us to notify the owner/administrator of the allegedly infringing webpage or other content (email address is preferred).</p>
<p>5. Include the following statement: &quot;I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.&quot;</p>
<p>6. Include the following statement: &quot;I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.&quot;</p>
<p>7. Sign the paper.</p>
<p>8. If via postal mail, send the written communication to the following address:</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; HostGator LLC<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Attn: Abuse Department, DMCA Complaint<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 11251 Northwest Freeway, Suite 400<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Houston, TX 77092<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; United States of America</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OR fax to:</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (281) 476-7801, Attn: Abuse Department, DMCA Complaint</p>
<p>Regardless of whether we may be liable for such infringement under local country law or United States law, we may respond to these notices by removing or disabling access to material claimed to infringe and/or terminating users of our services. If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected site or content so that the owner or administrator may make a counter notification.</p>
<p>We may also document notices of alleged infringement on which we act. As with all legal notices, a copy of the notice may be made available to the public and sent to one or more third parties who may make it available to the public.</p>
<p>In order to ensure that copyright owners do not wrongly insist on the removal of materials that actually do not infringe their copyrights, the safe harbor provisions require service providers to notify the subscribers if their materials have been removed and to provide them with an opportunity to send a written notice to the service provider stating that the material has been wrongly removed. [512(g)]</p>
<p>If a subscriber provides a proper &quot;counter-notice&quot; claiming that the material does not infringe copyrights, the service provider must then promptly notify the claiming party of the individual&#8217;s objection. [512(g)(2)] If the copyright owner does not bring a lawsuit in district court within 14 days, the service provider is then required to restore the material to its location on its network. [512(g)(2)(C)]</p>
<p>If it is determined that the copyright holder misrepresented its claim regarding the infringing material, the copyright holder then becomes liable to the OSP for any damages that resulted from the improper removal of the material. [512(f)]</p>

<p align="left">Gee, let&#8217;s see how fast this shows up on their site!</p>
<p align="left">Apparently, b.u.s.t.e.d.-.s.c.a.m.s. (dot) c.o.m is STEALING content off tons of blogs. We write the articles and they STEAL the content and drop it on their site. They don&#8217;t even bother to get the author&#8217;s name correct, it is almost as if it is an automated harvester and it randomly generates an &quot;author&quot;.</p>
<p align="left">There is NO id or contact info on the blog. But, they appear to be a group of thieves:</p>
<p align="left">b.u.s.t.e.d.-.s.c.a.m.s. (dot) c.o.m (74.54.143.82) was registered through GoDaddy but it is hosted on hostgator.com [who is registered by enom.com], which also hosts such true and legit&nbsp;<img src="/wp-content/plugins/deans_fckeditor/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/angry_smile.gif" alt="" /> businesses as:</p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">DNS1.LOVELYSMS.COM<br />
NS725.HOSTGATOR.COM<br />
NS4.AFFILIATEMARKETERCOURSE.COM<br />
NS1.SAGNETWORK.COM<br />
NS1.EASYBIGCASH.COM<br />
NS1.HOSTAVISTA.NET</font></p>
<p align="left">And, with a name like &quot;Easybigcash&quot; we, of course, know they are a legit and honest business.</p>
<p align="left">I sent a Cease &amp; Desist email to hostgator. Their reply:</p>

<p align="left">Let&#8217;s see how long it takes this entry to be stolen and put on their site. My last scam-related post showed up within minutes!</p>

<p align="left"><img align="left" alt="" src="http://melissa.blog.stonybrook.edu/files/2008/01/flyingsawdust.png" />But, when I back away from the keyboard I become an &quot;Arteeest&quot; with a sense of humor. The sound of a chainsaw makes me giddy with anticipation! I find it odd when I DON&#8217;T have a pile of sawdust in my pockets/shoes/bra. My idea of a &quot;good time&quot; is attacking a piece of wood rotating at 3600RPM with a razor sharp piece of metal.</p>

<p align="left">Dear Ramzi, you idiot:</p>
<p align="left">You contacted me, so you should already know my name and email address. If you already had this cash in your possession why did you give it away, and why do you need someones help to get it back? YOU put it in a safe deposit box and said it was a family keepsake, so, moron, go get it! If it is YOUR safe deposit box you can go get it any time you want. Bhutto&#8217;s son is at Oxford, not in Pakistan. Get your facts straight. Loser!</p>
