Scambaiting...

[shorty70]

I found this site, well I'm not sure how, but it is about scamming scammers and it is pretty funny. There are a lot of scams being turned around on the scammers. Check it out:

Click on the Letters Archive. Not enough time to read them all but the 'Road to Nowhere' is great. Thought I would share...there is even a forum, if you don't spend enough time here.

I had one of the fake lotto ones called the person that wanted me to send money wu to them for taxes. knowing it was a scam i told them let me make a few calls to see if i can borrow the money and called the local FBI office.. well they wanted me to call back and agree to send the money ( they where going to set them up.. ) so they called for me on 3 way to arrange the sending of money.. from there they told me that they would get ahold of wu and get them to contact local pd when they tried to pick it up.

Another topic already covered. There was one scambaiter in particular who documented a very long scam with a Nigerian and who played him like a fish! I will find the link and post it as it was one of the funniest things I have ever read!

Scambaiting never gets old and there are many stories to read for our enjoyment! I wouldn't want to try it though in case the scammers really do come to kill our families!

I get a lot that get sent wanting to buy a drawing from me and say well I am going to send you a $2,000 check for a drawing that I have up to sell for $500 and want me to send them the change. I tell them i charge a 1,499.00 money transfer fee and that nothing leaves my hands until money clears then they just stop trying to scam me

I have been playing with 419eater for years.
If you want to get serious about baiting there are many people to help you at 419.
It can be a lot of fun, but remember you are playing with dangerous criminals this is not really a game and some people have been hurt bad some have even lost their lives.
If you must play play carefully and cautiously.
I have found to be deaf right from the start overcomes the phone issue and allows you to use the Australian deaf assistance association..lol
To monitor all monetary transactions between you and them.
Including all their fees which must be paid in advance by the scammer of course.
But have a look at 419 for sure it is very entertaining the things they will actually do under the belief they are going to receive thousands of dolors is just unbelievable. But I warn if you are going to start baiting it will consume a lot of your time.
