I recently got a Japanese message on my keitai address (scroll down
for the google translate version)
It is clearly a con - no such service is in use, no such court papers
exist, it is just a weak attempt to extort money. They are fairly
common I assume.
Naturally, I shall play along with it out of curiosity and for the
entertainment value.
It would be fun to see how far they will go....
Any thoughts from Japan resident keitai-l'ers as to how most
effectively to string them along, safely.... ?
BTW - while I have flesh to plastic, a general link of use to anyone
doing research on the Japanese net with less than perfect kanji
skills, but ok listening.
This will read Japanese text to you with pretty good intonation.

come to think of it - how good is the JP text to speech available on
various Nokia handsets?
