What exactly is this "basic internet research"?

I still get numerous "last chance to renew my car warranty" and whatever the scam is from the credit card callers per day on both my home and cell numbers.Well, while we are already engaged in the thread, some of you may be interested to know (especially if you find yourself with time on your hands these days), that you *can* actually get money from these scum. In fact, it turns out that they cave pretty easily because they *know* they are violating the law, and they *know* what the penalties are. In fact, we wrote up how to do it (link below) and I *know* that it works because I just got myself $1000 out of a text message spammer! So, harass those phone spammers for fun *and* profit! ;-) Here's the write-up I did, feel free to ask me any questions you may have. :-)
