    I need a virus for fraudster/scamster

    Hi,

    Some chap in Nigeria has tried to defraud me of a few $$$$. Is selling an Apple Mac on gumtree. Was located in the same city as me, then suddenly moved when I told him I could collect it in person. Of course he prefers cash up-front and then I can wait for the Mac to arrive....yeah right.

    I've played email ping-pong for a couple of days now, but feel I should email this fraudulent relationship. Now rather than baiting this chap for another 2 months, I'd like to 'punish' him...

    ...so was thinking of sending him an email attachment with a virus that would give him some PC probs (along the lines of "Please find my payment details in the attached document").

    So just need to get hold of a virus - can anyone help me? I usually delate the buggers when I discover them. And now I need one!

    Or if you have a brighter idea for revenge, please divulge!

    Thanks,

    PC

    I would advise just walking away, rather than falling foul of the Computer Misuse Act.
    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

      Surely it's not a 'misuse' sending some low-life crim some irritant little virus?

      How many of these scum ever get caught??

        That's right, vigilante justice is legal "if they deserve it".

          And according to Harriet the court of public opinion holds a higher jurisdiction than the court of law
