I really hate scammers

But I have found a way to identify them easier.

For the last couple days I've had a scammer claiming to be a woman hitting me up on my Yahoo account. She wants to know this and that, and claims to be from a small town way out in the back beyond.

Asking about my finances, my kids, you know all the stuff they want to find out so they can get in your graces to try to scam you out of money or personally identifiable information they can use to try to open accounts in your name.

It finally hit me while I was trying to get rid of this person without being overly rude.

Just have them come visit my blog right here.

They will show up in my logs and I can trace their IP Address.

So I sent this person the link to my blog, and suddenly I'm being accused of being a scammer or a hacker.

Well that person is now definitively blocked.

If you ever run into something like that, just have them visit any blog that you know that has a Sitemeter, preferably a somewhat slow blog like mine so they will be sure to show up in the logs. Highlight and copy their IP Address.

Then you can go to http://www.iptrackeronline.com/ and paste their IP Address in the box and it will tell you where that IP Address is within 50 miles normally.

That is one way you can tell if a person is telling you some of the truth.

SAMPLE LETTER:

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to voice my strong opposition to the proposed change to current law that would make it illegal to manufacture, import or sell on the open market M855 / SS109 ammunition.

The claimed purpose of this change is to “protect the lives and safety of law enforcement officers from the threat posed by ammunition capable of penetrating a protective vest when fired from a handgun”.

As the Technical Branch well knows, all rifle ammunition of a common caliber such as .223 / 5.56 is capable of penetrating threat level IIA and IIIA body armor regardless of the firearm that is used to fire it. M855 / SS109 is no more of a threat to law enforcement than M193 or Horandy VMAX loads are.

It’s also worth noting that rifle caliber pistols are rarely used in violent crime, their usage is a statistical zero for all practical purposes, which further begs the question as to why this proposed rule change is being considered.

Banning the availability of affordable surplus ammunition under the false pretense that it’s in the name of officer safety is a clear violation of our 2nd Amendment rights.

Thank you for your time and consideration,


**Thanks to Military Arms Channel for letting us share their description**

Jerry goes over some of the details of why the military uses the m855 green tip ammunition and why it is not actually considered a true armor piercing round. He also has a little fun along the way
