Been getting these emails recently:

Your credit card will be billed at $22.95 weekly and free 3 pack of child
porn CD is shipping to your billing address. To cancel your membership
and CD pack please email full credit card details to
abuse@theplanet.com Ready to enjoy all types of underage
porn? We have the best selection for every taste! Click the secret link
below and have fun... www.shadowfamily.com

It's supposedly sent from abuse@theplanet.com, which I highly doubt ;) Seems like someone's out to ruin their reputation.

wow.. out of all spam.. that is low!
terrible what people do to get money and rip people off...
get the header of the email and send it to fbi

This one is fairly old now. Those who fall for it will find their CC Identity stolen and used to make all sorts of purchases on the net. People who dont know better will worry about getting in trouble and will immediately send all requested info in order to cancel....

How do they intercept the e-mails sent to "abuse@theplanet.com". The scam would only work if they hit "reply" and sent an e-mail to the forged address?

I get a 404 error when i try and goto shadowfamily.com

Oh well........

The Dude :)
