[SURBL-Discuss] PayPal Joe-job

Since I list a lot of fake company domains in money-forwarding scams on my website (a data source of JP on multi.surbl.org), I seem to have offended a few people.

Yesterday someone made 4 PayPal payments to my account, two from the US, one from France and one from Australia. PayPal caught it or was alerted and reversed all transfers, as well as suspending my account pending investigation.

In the last two days I also received "fan mail" from Nigeria and South Africa regarding some anti-419 data that I publish.

Just wanted to let you guys know. I take it as a sign that the scammers are feeling some pain, which is good :-)
