    or that you make a foam mold of yourself. Not shy are they? I wonder if you just came totally correct in your scam (yeah, I'm scamming you give me everything) it would work? This is close.

    Do they give you an address? Maybe you should send them a dna sample. (In the form of something nasty in a jiffy envelope.)


    :edit:

    I see it's just a fax no.

    Last time i did an order with flight club. They hit me with some bullshit along these lines. They wanted a photocopy of my ID and credit card front and back and my signature.Even though i'd bought things from them before with out all this drama they wouldn't process my order without this info. In the end i told them to forget it.

    You should fax a never ending fax loop to their number...
    Write whatever you wish on 9 pages of 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper and tape them together (end to end). Dial the victim's fax number and start sending the pages through. After page two has been transmitted, tape the top of page 1 to the bottom of page 9 making a continuous loop. The document will continue to cycle until the victim's fax machine has run out of paper. Be sure and disable your phone number from being printed on the fax and also disable caller I.D.
    This prank is great to get even with a business or individual who has somehow cheated you.

    Shouldn't they want to avoid being identified? And couldn't this info be pretty easily used to identify them? I think someone's getting framed...
