No doubt all of you have received the infamous "419 hoax" emails in your inbox from a variety of international scammers telling you that if you provide them with a bank account number that they will give you 30% of however many millions of dollars that they claim to be trying to move. There are some people who have actually fallen for that scam before, and been taken for thousands of dollars. The scammers know that we are greedy, and that is why their scam works.
I, on the other hand, have found these guys to be worth countless hours of entertainment, and have had a lot of laughs at the expense of these guys by sending them emails posing as a mark. And now, I am going to share the fun with you by posting transcripts of my dealings with these guys.
I have included the content of the emails unedited in most cases, and you will see that the scammers email addresses are listed. If you are so inclined to contact them, I do request that you refrain from discussing the content of any of the emails with them, because in some cases, I am still in contact with these guys.
My maintenance of the site is erratic, because I have this problem called a job, but more to come. It has been far too long since I've had a good bait going, and I'm going to start doing them one at a time so that I can give them my undivided attention.
If you run a similar website, email me, and I'll gladly exchange links with you.
