more nigerian scams

Topic: Uche, the idiotic scammer
I saw this article on Nigerian email scams today while looking at another Tripod member's blog. The website mentioned in the article, http://www.419eater.com/ I'm going to have to take a look at... this is from their website:

It doesn't matter if you are new to this 'sport' or a hardened veteran; if you're wasting the time of a scammer, or frustrating them in any way, well that's good enough for us!

So what is scambaiting? Well, put simply, you enter into a dialogue with scammers, simply to waste their precious time and resources. Maybe if you are VERY lucky you'll scam them out of some cash! Although this site concentrates mainly on the "419" type scam, we are happy to bait other types of scammers if and when the opportunity arises. Nigerian

Even if you are a 'newbie' much fun can be had. If you are new to this game and need to know what scambaiting is all about, please click on the 419 FAQ link at the top of the page. See also Baiting Tips for information on getting started on this great cyber-sport

We would encourage anyone to contribute to this site and the good cause of anti-scamming by joining in the fun on the FORUM where you can meet new friends and seek expert help, tips and advice.

Please feel free contact me if you have any suggestions for improving this site.

In the meantime, take a look around. I hope you enjoy your visit.


Time to head home... g'night!

P.S. If you are a new reader of my blog, you should check all of my "Uche Files" entries, as they will probably provide hours of mindless entertainment.
