[AusNOG] Amazon Prime subscription scam

[DaZZa]

I convinced one of them that I was with the AFP and working with Interpol
to track down and eradicate scammers, and that we had tracked their IP
location and a raid was coming.

The only way she could save herself was to jump up and down with her hands
on her head screaming "I am an agent of Inspector Gadget of the Interpol
task force!"

I could hear her doing it too. I almost died laughing.
