Welcome to the world of Scambaiting!

Does somebody want to transfer millions of dollars into your account?
Does someone want you pay you to cash cheques and send them the money?
Met a new friend/penpal on a friendship/dating site who's asking you for money?
Has a dying person contacted you wanting your help to give his money to charity?
Have you sold an item and are asked to accept a payment larger than the item amount?

IT'S A SCAM!

Don't fall for common scams like this - fight them!

So what is scambaiting? Well, put simply, you enter into a dialogue with scammers, simply to waste their time and resources. Whilst you are doing this, you will be helping to keep the scammers away from real potential victims and screwing around with the minds of deserving thieves.

It doesn't matter if you are new to this sport or a hardened veteran; if you are wasting the time of a scammer, or frustrating them in any way well that's good enough for us, and we would welcome you to join with our now very large community.

Do not be fooled into thinking scammers operate from a specific part of the world. Advance fee fraud scammers are a world-wide menace, and they operate from every continent. These scammers range from small one-man-band criminals scamming a few thousand dollars a year, to highly organised groups raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.

When I moved out here a couple years back, I had vehicles and stuff that weren't legal out here and I sold in AZ through the internet. I got so many of these contacting me it was insane. After the first few, I started playing along just to amuse myself and collected a small collection of counterfeit cashier's checks, which all came from Africa. Although some of them seemed to have some weird UK connection. Good times. There was a website sometime back where a scammee totally scammed the scammer and sent them large boxes of junk electronics COD. I'll have to dig it out, it was hilarious.

I seriously almost just died laughing. I'm not sure which was funnier, the ANUS computers or the P-P-Powerbook.
