OT: Phoenix Area Email Scam Frustrater?

[Ed Skinner]

     Looks like http://scamorama.com/ is one of the more interesting places. 
Several items under "UPDATES" contain running logs so you can see how some 
have done battle with the scammers. There's also a set of warnings under 
"ANTI-SCAMMERS" about how to protect/hide yourself, primarily your identity 
and how to keep your real self hidden, should you decide to do battle with 
the spammers. (I don't. Not worth the risk if I mess up and somehow divulge 
some tidbit of my true identity.)
