Your homepage is hilarious! I especially love the photos of the Nigerian with the “got mike?” sign! And the Elvis scam had me splitting my sides!

I cam accorss your page today, and thought it was
great! I started checking through some of my emails
and was wondering... what should I look for that I
know its a scam right away? All I get is investor
mail, or male enlargement pills.
Thanks,

Ohmygoodness, this is hilarious. I'm only on the second one with Susie
Chapstick. You're a comedic genius...Oh the subtleties and the way you
hooked the first guy(s) with the exquisite combination of bait and
undesireableness...
I can't wait to show these to my husband.
I've stopped getting the Nigerian scams...I suppose they permeated the
market. Or maybe your efforts had some good effect!

Dear Mike, Susie or whatever your present incarnation might be,
You are my hero! If I was a woman I'd want to have your babies! I salute you.
You managed to string him along for such a long time and then to be unfaithful;
have you no feelings? you can be so hurtful. I nearly felt sorry for him. NOT!!!
You've given me some good ideas as I'm presently reeling in an Argentinean lowlife.
I'll watch your website with interest in the future.
As they say in England " You've done him up like a kipper!"
Should you be unfortunate enough to die before me (God forbid! because we need
people like you) will you be my brain donor?
Keep up the good work.

Been reading your Susie/Mohmmed Scam, and man i had a good laugh.
(and that the fucker alsoeveal himself when you played another scammer, LMAO)
Just a little note for you, perhaps change provider of homepage?? was fucking annoying
that i exceeded the bandwidth limit for your page and had too wait 1 hour too complete the
story.
Didnt know that geocities were soo cheap when it comes too bandwidth.

Just read Mo Meets A Pretty Woman. Masterful! I love the way you
strung
him along, and the introduction of the rival "attorney" was brilliant.
Creepy that he says he has 25 other "jobs" going, although I hope he's
just
boasting.
If I may make a humble suggestion, I think you should rekindle the
romance
with an especially steamy note and then casually mention that you're a
man
("That's not a problem, is it?"). Or you could send him a really hot
and
loving note and tell him that your next note will include a nude
picture of
you, then send him a pic of Julia Robert's head photoshopped onto a
Crying
Game body.

That was so awesome, I am finding out that I'm being scammed in the same situation regarding a dirt bike from ebay, this ass has been contacting me blowing smoke, and I started doing research and found your info. It gives me inspiration to do something the same, I don't know that I could be a witty as yours but I'm gonna try.
Thanks
PS I have not given any money to this freak and I of course have an address to wire his money to. HA HA HA!!! as if it's real. Let me know if you have any good ideas for this ass.

Dear Got Mike!
I have been emailed etc by some guy who wanted to by my Adobe InDesign CS and sent me a huge cashiers check ($4800), the same amount you were sent. Did the check you recieved have a return address? Was it by change in Maryland? Anyways, the guy wants me to wire transfer $4000 as two $2000 chunks to two separate people at the same adress in ikeja nigeria. Sound familiar? Please reply, I want to know how to take this bastard down. We are currnetly at the "I see that you have revcieved my check" stage. As soon as the confirmation was (confirmed?) he emailed me telling me that his aunt just died in china, and that he wanted me to wire transfer western union to those people, one being him, and the other being his mother (isnt she supposed to be dead in your little "he's gettin a dell" event?). He needs me to send the money as fast as i can to help him get to Hong Kong to take care of his sister's children. lol. What a sorry bastard. Its pretty cool that I ran across your webpage a'la Google. ^_^
Do you have any suggestions, "Mr. Susie Chapstick"?
Thanks,

Hello, I enjoy very much reading the 419 scam stories on you
site. I received this one and it is a bit different than most
and looks like it is out of Nepal. His header address is
different than the address listed as a reply to. If you want, or
have the time. Have some fun with this guy! Oh, if you do by
chance get 7 million, please give me my share (Hehe!!). Keep the
fun going! Cindy

Dear Susie,

Dear Mike,
I found your site while surfing, never having heard of scambaiting or 419s. I receive nigerian letters now and then, but never was drawn in. Glad to see you're making fools of these fools.

I've started to respond to these emails myself but only have the patience to send them one reply, it usually starts off being way overly corny and thankfull, always sincere, next i go onto how it would be my pleasure to help, i work the reply into a rant of how low life they are and that there going to hell.
I'm impressed with the idea of grandly wasting the scammers time , having them go 30 miles out of the way.
One thing I'd like to see more of is your bold faced notes, tremendous insights to your methods!
I actually opened up this email account to apply for 1,000 dollar shopping spree's and free xbox deals. I found them to be scams too, but the 419 is truely satanic.
Well good job on the site, I really liked seeing pictures of these fools, redrum got mike was great! aka glory hole.

By soaking up some of that evil intent from Nigeria you are doing a wholly GOOD THING (why should the devil have all the best upper case ?) so why needlessly open up one of your flanks by being bit racist on your site ? Yes all these lying cheating bastards are black , but why give the apologists a clear shot ?
I could have pissed myself laughing at some of the email exchanges . I am worried that I may be becoming obsessed with 419 bait sites.

but I notice that Stones do a Barley Wine.
I used to drink that in England and it is something really special, not like the piss Americans call beer!
I used to buy a Barley Wine called "Old Tom" that had a picture of a cat on the label.
There was also one called "Stingo" which had a picture of a devil.

I am currently "playing" with some of the criminals.
I am pretending, for instance, that my name is "Bridget Jones", or
"Rachel
Green", and that I would be very pleased to help them in their
financial
transaction.
Do you know how to make fake passports? Could you help me, giving me
tricks
or something?
Thank you, in advance, for your answer. Have a nice week-end!
