Well some are yes, but certainly not the one i just recieved in my inbox from someone who barely seems to know how to use MS paint never mind pull off a banking fraud!Just how bad is this effort? come on, i even gave a lamo meter up (poll) for it, heh

note in the footer of the html the hidden text in white to get past peoples spam filters, also the real address of the webpage and the letter I used in place of L (which looks kinda same in some fonts)

Whats the rating scale? Do we give him a 1 for his effort, or a 10 for how bad it sucks?
