Not sure where to post this.

I had a friend send me a link to a site that carried the following message
Site is down.

Host shut down my database multiple times cause of high load.

If no-one is interested in giving ****.biz a workover (to handle more load, caching etc.), it wont be up again.

***** @ ******.biz

Smelling a rotting something in the fish family, I followed a data trail that started in Toronto then to Holland and ended up in Portland.

Then I checked the HTML for the supposed .jpg image...!

<pre>Site is down.

- **** @ ****.biz

Site is down for good. Here is all the pictures for those who want them:
(yes, even unaccepted pictures for some time is here..)
</pre>
<iframe src ="/dump" width="100%" height="300">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe> -->

which I found strange as all the output is text based when the URL in the address bar is in this format...

http://tunteella.****.biz/1117.jpg

and on my digging in to the domain records, found an entry that had the reference to impotency and drugs thereof mentioned.

So I thought I would alert people to the possibility that this is a reverse spam system that has the message as a lure, people email the email address and then get their boxes filled with cr@p as one of the businesses is "word to the wise" who specialize in one area of business... EMAIL!!!

So putting 2 + 2 and finding the square toot of 16, you don't need to be a scientist of the rocket motor type to see what this is.

So heads up if you stumble upon a site claiming to be having development issues, its likely to be a lure.
