MooNoi Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 That is VERY fucked up. Did the business owner get the AFP involved or did you do that off your own initiative? All the same... weird thing to receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Came to my personal email account. The business owner told me he contacted the AFP but it's also possible he just said that after realising what a stupid stunt. If it was him I amsure they will be able to locate the source.

Evel_Penivel Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 It appears that someone sent part of a real tsunami warning. It's a fairly standard alert about an undersea earthquake, which can cause tsunamis. From the website of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, a recent alert: Warning Bulletin Someone imped the address of the business in Australia. It's a fairly common type of hoax, used to get around spam blockers and make it more difficult to identify the sender. What the sender hoped to gain, I can only guess. But it wasn't anything good.
