There is a forum for people who screw with these scammers...can't recall the name of it at the moment, but a friend and I decided to try it one time.
We set up gmail accounts with ficticious names and put the email addresses out all over the net. It didn't take long at all to start receiving emails claiming that a dying widow needed to leave her money to us.
With some creativity, we kept this guy busy for about a month before he realized we were messing with him. It was hilarious, and I like to think that by keeping him busy, he was unable to scam someone who might have actually fallen for it.

Aah yes, loads of fun it can be playing (better word for it but..) with those guys.
Problem with the 419 eater site is it can take up a lot of your free time reading the safaris they send those guys on. It can be more of a time killer than this site. 8) :lol: :lol:

lead a sheltered life

Postby Carter » Thu Sep 25, 2008 7:54 pm

I've been surfing since 95 and seen my share of scams but none like described here. I am going to continue to lead a sheltered life and not click on a damn thing. Of course posting here may invite this kind of traffic. No problem, I will just request payment to a Swiss account that I reserve for these transactions.
