Interesting S.P.A.M. experiment

http://www.networkworld.com/news/200...t.html?hpg1=bn

I have often wondered what would happen if you replied to all the spam you get in your inbox. McAfee got 50 volunteers from 10 countries to find out. McAfee also gave each participant a new computer. Poor computers never knew what hit them. :dead::lol:

I'd do it for a free computer! Sounds like fun. Only, of course, if I could remain anonymous like they did.
