everything accurate, recieved in a timley manner. will purchase again

Everything went well

Very nice checks, and they were delivered quickly.I ordered gray, and I wish I'd gotten something more colorful. And the security note says "this check has a colored background" etc. Barely true for gray! Anyway, that's entirely due to gray... order a real color and you'll be happy.

Great for Quick Book users. Very thin and printed well.

Such a shame. This had great potential but it’s quickly ruined by the one-man fanatical Krebs appreciation society that is Krebs. There’s some research around linking the use of the word “I” in written work to the level of egomania of the author, which would be pretty revealing in this case. As I said, it’s a shame, but I shouldn’t have expected any different, given my experience of his online work. What I’ve learned is that for me, a trait of the author which is manageable in shorter form work (arrogance and over-inflated self opinion) becomes unbearable in proportion to the increased word count.

I enjoyed it... and it took me back to those days, oh the spam, the scams, the russians, the americans, the hackin, viruses lol. Actually quite exciting thinking back. The dark web, tor. Definately worth a read if you were online earlier days.

Fantastic book!Krebs paints a candid yet accurate picture of the spam underworld and it's kingpins. Though a factual detailing of events during the last decade of the spam scene, it's far from a tedious read as the major players in this world are extremely colourful characters and the ways in which their empires are run is truly fascinating.A five star read from Mr Krebs - Bravo!

A well written book that is more crime thriller than a dry nurd dissertation about hacking. This book tells the story of the medication spam deluge and the people behind it. A facinating peek into the murky underworld of Russian and Ukranian organised crime as well as the banking and credit card world of commerce that supported it. If you ever wondered who was behind these spam campaigns, who bought the "medication" and supplied it then this very readible book will go a long way to answering those questions.

I have been following Brian for years now, and I really liked this book. He has taken a lot of his research for spam from his blog and made it easier to follow the threads. Highly recommended if you have a passing interest in the subject. And more so if not it might just open your eyes a bit.
