taqah and the Victoria's Secret E-card scam

"taqah" is an asshole hacker who messages girls on yahoo offering Victoria's Secret e-certificates in exchange for cam shows. He asks to connect to girls' web cams "to make sure that you have a web cam" (I connected on my most secure computer to see if yahoo could log his ip address that way). Then he sends you a fake VS email that looks like its from "orders@victoriassecret.com." Of course now he wants his show!

Following is the chat transcript & email for your information and amusement:
