Profile of a Scam Victim

  • Article
  • January 14, 2007
Although there are many scams going around, not many people will bite the bait everytime. The point is this, the scammers don't need to have a good respond, but what they need is just one or few out of the million to fall into the trap. Let's say 10,000 victims were selected, after which say, only 100 responded. During the transaction, probably another 95 decided that "whatever" they are going to do is risky or smell the rat, and dropped it off. The scammers still have 5 victims, who are willing to pay, say an advanced fee of $10,000 each. That would be $50,000, or one year's pay for a middle-income earner. Well, if that sum of money is not good enough for you, it is good enough for a scammer. 

Then again, we ask who are these 5 victims, or the 100 potential victims who would respond to the scammers?

419Eater Tricks Scammers

  • Article
  • February 23, 2007
Surprise! This video is created by 2 scammers after they were tricked by a scambaiter from 419Eater.com. As usual, the scammer portray that he is a rich man dying of cancer, and he wanted to distribute his "wealth" before he dies. Quite a normal 419 (advanced fee fraud) scam per se, but the problem is that their 'victim' is a scambaiter, who is experienced in such scams and will counter the scammers by wasting their time and resources.

In this case, the scambaiter 'Scam the Scammers' (what a phrase) into believing that he is a CEO of a video production firm. So, our 'CEO' is giving out scholarships to people who can provide a sample footage of themselves acting out scenes of famous TV programs. The scammers were tricked into believing that the offer is real, and went ahead to film themselves in a replay of a scene from the British comedy show, Monty Python (early 70s).

The audio isn't quite clear, but I don't think you need to hear much... lmao. We are very sure that they (scammers) did not qualify for the scholarship.
