And if you can get it from Google Cache as the sites have gone … “TechnoGirl Weasel Boy”
And my favourite moment from November 2005 …

Peter Francis-Macrae, the man behind some of the UK’s most prolific spamming attacks and domain name scams, has been sentenced to six-years in jail after being found guilty of seven out of the nine charges brought against him.

The 22 year old from St Neots in Cambridgeshire, known as Weasel Boy, had faced four charges of making threats to kill, two of fraudulent trading, one charge of blackmail, one of transferring criminal property and one of threatening to destroy or damage property.

He was found guilty on two counts of making threats to kill, two of fraudulent trading, one of concealing criminal property, one charge of threatening to destroy or damage property and one count of blackmail.

Macrae was the only UK resident on anti spam organisation Spamhaus’ register of known spam operators (ROSKSO).

He made at least £1.5million through a series of domain registration scams.
