Check this news out. It is about one of our friends in anti-scamming campaign, the 419 eaters. Cheers to them.
“In fact, I was scam-baiting, screwing with internet thieves. It’s a hobby that involves responding to those pesky emails that fill up your inbox and spam folder promising easy money: the rich Nigerian widows dying of cancer, the dethroned royalty with gold stashed in hidden bank accounts. The goal is to waste scammers’ time and keep them away from real victims. To pull off my first scam-bait, I had created a fictional 40-something professor named Paul BunÂyon. He had the heart attack. Me, I had nothing worse to report than a cricked neck from too many hours perusing the online forums at 419Eater.com, the largest scam-baiting website in the world.”
