rabbitstew Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Aha Me & a friend make a hobby of winding those scammers up. The idea is you string them along for as long as possible and try to get "trophies" out of them - like photos of them holding silly signs etc... Most of them are from Senegal in Nigeria or that sort of rough area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sMMAshzilla Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The thing is that people actually fall for this? Google it and you'll find plenty of cases where people have. Someone I used to work with had an e-mail from the Dutch National Lottery telling her that she had won. She was quite excited and was going to contact them. I asked if she had been to Holland? Had she played the lottery and how did they know her e-mail address? She said that her Husband had been to Holland a few years back and I guess he might have bought a ticket Some people just are a bit silly.

4RE Leather Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 419eater or something like that as I recall 419 love scammer they are called. The name of the original gang leader and the one they always seem to use is the surname Anderson. I am stringing along a white polish girl called Elizabeth Anderson on Tagged at the moment. She keeps calling me deary or my dear. A common black saying and not Polish at all. She says her dad is a black African who died and is staying in Ghana to look after her. They always start off saying how poor they are and that internet is expensive lol. I just keep telling her to get on a plane and she can have some money:) Aparently if they get ripped off or loose money they are known to be quite violent so be carefull and most important keep it off faceBook.
