Sending out offensive messages on the internet has become a very common practice among mainlanders.
And, believe it or not, some have made a career out of helping others send e-mails or short messages with abusive language to other internet users. The money can be good, too.
This 'service' originated from online games where players could use somebody else to send a nasty comment to a fellow player. But recently this phenomenon has spread to include those using the internet in general.
'Ju Wang Diao Cha' is the Net-name of a cyber-curser who has been on the job for about a year.
He sends messages through e-mail, QQ, MSN and other online communication tools. 'The offensive content can be assigned by the client or improvised by the sender. Each 'attack' consists of no less than 10 messages,' he says. 'We absolutely keep the client's information secret and would not leave any trace. So we are almost sure that we cannot be detected.'
The cyber-curser says the client just provides the name and contact information of his or her target, and he will take action.
