Ackmey Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Assuming you're someone familiar with the 419 scam - you know those emails claiming: "One of your long distant relatives has died, there is 3.4 million dollars waiting to be transferred you your account!" Or, "I'm suffering from a grave illness please help me!!!" Well, head here to 419eater.com. Fun fun for everyone! (Except the scammers!) :twisted: I just set up a gmail account specifically for scambaiting, and after 3 posts in 3 guestbooks around the 'net, and two hours of waiting, I got two emails telling me I've got millions of dollars just waiting around the corner... let's see how long I can make them think I'll pay up for "setting up accounts" and "transferring the money to me".

thundercunt Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 uhhh why even do this? playing the game is so much more fun. Quote
Ackmey Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 Yeah, I guess... but wasting scammers' time is fun too. Quote
thundercunt Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Yeah but seems kind of dangerous linking yourself in any way to a scam. One day the FBI will come knocking at your door... lol Quote
Ackmey Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 Yeah but seems kind of dangerous linking yourself in any way to a scam. One day the FBI will come knocking at your door... lol It's not illegal, or morally wrong, as far as I'm concerned... they wanna steal my money, so I mess with them a lil'. @ skull - you mean norton?

PHANTASM Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I used to do this. Write back and tell them you are very excited but you need some more details. Make them get creative and have a laugh at what crap they send you. Tell them you want the family photos your uncle in Nigeria left behind, or you have the "tax payment" they want all ready to send but you need his birth certificate. It's fun. Quote
Ackmey Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 Heheh, one guy sent me a western union form, with a big "FAKE" waterstamp in the background. He told me it was because then, scammers wouldn't be interested in using it. xD Quote
