Snopes.com - Save Toby http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/savetoby.asp <BLOCKED::http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/savetoby.asp> These kind of hoaxes are crude and unfunny to my eyes. But probably not illegal... Steve D.. _____ From: Mancini, Steve [mailto:steve.mancini@private] Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 8:46 AM To: crime@private Subject: RE: [Crime] Attn LEO: Possible animal cruelty / sw piracy advertised ona local web forum Sounds like a copycat. There was a guy doing the same thing to Toby the bunny a while back. Pay me or I will be forced to eat him. But you are right, someone needs to stomp this guy hard with whatever legal recourse is available. _____ From: crime-bounces@private [mailto:crime-bounces@private] On Behalf Of greg.tao@private Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2005 2:06 AM To: crime@private Subject: [Crime] Attn LEO: Possible animal cruelty / sw piracy advertised ona local web forum Do any of our local law enforcement people want to look into this: <http://pdxforsale.com/?ad=169818> http://pdxforsale.com/?ad=169818 Unless this is a REALLY bad joke, the person who posted this ad is apparently doing something immoral, unethical, inappropriate, and I would imagine also illegal. Quote from the user's ad: "I Will Be Putting This Cat To Sleep If I Do Not Receive $10,000 In Donations." There is a picture of the cat with a knife to its throat. The user gives his PayPal address as <mailto:swbootleg@private> swbootleg@private Interesting choice of email address, huh? Sounds like a scam with the potential for animal cruelty and software piracy mixed in there, huh? Thanks, Greg PS: I reported this to PayPal, but I thought I'd also report it via the CRIME list to our friendly neighborhood law enforcement officers. _______________________________________________ Crime mailing list Crime@private http://lists.whiteknighthackers.com/mailman/listinfo/crime
