Ouch. I did get my vaccine a few weeks ago, so hopefully I'm not that sick. ;-P My understanding was that they reset your password then hold your account for ransom or use it to break into your other services. (e.g banking, 401k, credit card, etc. Email access can get you pretty much anywhere.) I have no problem with seeing people who deceive and rob innocent people of their savings sent to jail. If what they're doing with my confirmation code truly is harmless, then yeah, of course I wouldn't want them sent to prison. But I thought this scam was more than that. Maybe you know more about this case than I do? I don't have the resources to completely take down a scam ring; I figure I can help by trying and slow these people down now and again. Maybe the time I made him waste on me prevented him from getting to someone who would have fallen for the scam. Maybe not. In either case, the prank is pretty harmless.
