i tried www.SPAMSITE.com, www.!@#$%^&*.com and www.!@#$%^&*.com all of these sites sent me a similar message asking for photo ID and credit card pictures. i assume this is how they are stealing peoples accounts and using them to farm now that SOE has cracked down on them.

i submitted a paypal fraud investigation on all 3 companies, i also sent an e-mail to the FTC and BBB
