Add me to the chorus of people that are impressed/scared by spammers.
In a previous life, I worked at a semi-well-known auto publisher site where scammers literally stood up a copy of almost _the entire site_ (ads, functionality, and all) in order to execute an auto escrow scam. We know of at least one instance where a user in the UK was scammed out of ~$10,000-ish using this method.
Democratization of technology at its best (worst?) I guess...
