"SCAMBAITING" Scamming the spam scammers.


By Fredrich Emerald  I won the e-mail lottery today.I also have a package at fedex that has a check for $80,000 usd, in my name and cost $120.00 to ship. I have been singled out by heads of state,doctors and God himself to help the oppressed and deliver the third world from bondage.All I have to do is assist them with their "Exodus Maximus" of funds.(their words not mine) and I get to keep ten percent of $660,000,000 just for the use of my free checking account at Wells Fargo.Wow GIECO better step it up a notch, or that lizard might move to Nigeria.The humanity of it all is too much for me to comprehend.As I write this I can’t help but laugh, as I fantasize my self dressed like mosses addressing the World Bank singing “LET MY PEOPLE GOOOOO!” Its hard to believe that everyday thousands of people still fall prey to these 419 scams. The number "419" refers to the article of the Nigerian Criminal Code (part of Chapter 38: "Obtaining Property by false pretences; Cheating") dealing with fraud.[6]  According to the BBC a group of volunteers called SCAMBAITERS are turning the tables on these 419 operators. According to their website 419EATER.COM after being baited ,criminals will jump through hoops if they think you have the funds.In some cases they will book flights and hotel accommodations, all while running around wasting their time and resources.This is more fun than a bucket of tadpoles! Even more hilarious is when they get these criminals to send pictures of themselves.They get them to pose with stupid signs like"Phil Mycrackin with semen", to Prove they are who they say they are.One of the funniest pictures is of a guy that painted a red circle around one breast to prove he converted to a phony religion in order to complete the deal.Great stuff! They even have a forum with tips and tricks for newbies. If you think you have what it takes to be a SCAMBAITER check out the website and don’t forget to visit the trophy room.Happy hunting, let me know how it works out.
