Due to the number of spammers getting through from China, I have taken steps to ban every single Chinese IP range from accessing the forum.

While it appears to be working flawlessly, if anyone experiences any problems accessing the forum, please let me know by emailing me at John@OpenCarry.org.

Thanks!

PS. For those who are interested, I used the tool at http://www.blockacountry.com/ to generate the IP address range.

I know your pain. I have slowly been blocking China, and lots of Russia for this myself on a website I run.

I just got a good one from Ghana on my Skype the other day.

Apparently someone with my same last name had an account worth millions in the bank of Ghana. This nice bank worker wants to help me claim it (for a small fee of course) so the "greedy rich bank directors" dont keep it.

I am thinking of contacting them just to have some fun.

I saw an episode of nightline where they setup an email account and basically did everything you do to invite spam. When they received your typical Nigerian bank scam, they setup a meeting with a guy in Paris. Then watched (via webcam) as the scammer showed up at the coffee house, waited around for a while and left. Then they called him and apologized for missing the meeting and blamed it on problems with the jet.Then they told the scammer that they would be in London in a couple days and asked if they could meet there. They basically sent this guy to like 4 different cafes in as many countries (all with web cams) before finally meeting him and telling him whats up.
