An interesting concept!

I found out about this here:http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11978690~mode=flat

Apparently, there are a lot of fake bank sites out there that scam people out of money. Take a look at this one for example:
http://www.valleytrustincorp.com/

Honestly, what bank would have a lame entrance page like that?
So anyways, this site:
http://www.aa419.org/bandwidth.shtml

Decided to make a java script or something to load images from the bank's servers over and over again. Here's the link:
http://www.aa419.org/ladvampire.html
Eats up their bandwidth, and they get a high bill. I'm doing this all the time now, on both of my connections.

the aa419 has claimed to shut down or temporarily shutdown 169 fake bank sites... pretty cool if you ask me!

Lol! Yeah I've seen a bunch of these. Whats really funny is I got a fake email from Citibank requesting personal info......a bank which I don't even use.

Yeah I get those too. You would think that no one would ever fall for it, but they do. :roll:


So far with 3 net connections, I've wasted about 20 GB of these losers' bandwidth. :lol:
