Hi Lists,

I am surprised this guy used this picture from my website, there are ton's
of photos on the net, why this chinga? Every week I received orders on my
web site from Nigeria by people always used stolen CC number's and selected
Fedex for quick delivery. Since few months I received the same kind of
orders, very few at present time, but same way from Indonesia. I used now an
expensive tool, from a bank, with automatic control of name and address
delivery of the supposed owner of the CC.
