Title: Scambating.
Post by: robbie on August 31, 2006, 11:58:24 am

There is a hobby on the internet called Scambaiting.


If anyone has had or seen an email, usually from Nigeria or another West African country, than promises you a fortune in cash if you pay a transaction fee, then you will understand this hobby.


Go to www.419eater.com.  Have a quick look at yhe FAQ's and then look at the Letters Archive.  These guys manage to creatively scam the scammers.


I think Smurfboy will like this site a lot.

I love this idea of scambaiting. The 'trophy room' page had me in stitches.

Yes, I particularly enjoyed reading the one where the scammer was on the phone when the baiter pretended to be run over and killed!
