Spam meets Scam

I find it symbolic that this con artist uses hotmail and yahoo respectively to send and receive his/her messages.

The con artist is engaged in "scam 419". On the other hand, yahoo and hotmail inserting their commercials in the end of their "free" messages are probably the largest spammers in the world.

So Spam meets Scam. And everyone practicing any of these activities is a scum.
