    Great idea. Problem is they will record the IP address and once they get wind that lots are being sourced from one IP, they will probably delete them all.

    Which means they'll delete all the real ones from ISPs that use a transparent proxy, too.

    also we can bounce them through many different anonymous servers

    Anything that can spam a spammer has got to be a good thing :)

    Nah! Some flamage can be amusing, especially if it's Commode bummers.......although I've seen the inside of a Commode. OOOOOH! It'd tear it to ribbons :lol:

    Has anybody seen this website?

    It' very amusing. It's about people scamming the scammers and getting them to do really stupid things while wasting as much of their time as possible. It can involve quite a bit of reading but it is worth it.

    Thank you for introducing me to my NEW favourite website!

    Brilliant... they were wondering why I was laughing so much in work today, after reading the letters.

    If I start reading it at work I tend to not get anything else done. It takes a lot of reading to follow the baiting along but it is usually worth it for the entertainment.

    I remember one the guy was travelling to Lagos anyway so decided to scam someone to meet him at the airport and he got pictures of the guy holding up a sign saying "Mr Bukkake" :D

    Has anyone seen the film 'Boiler Room' starring Vin Diesel? It's quite good.

    yeah ha ha, i have, i saw it advertised in the paper once, and just saw the title and the actors, i thought it was gonna be a non stop action romp. i think the only action was when the guys beat up some wall street guys or something like that.

    if you liked that you should look out for 'glengary glenross' its quite similar. but much better.

    I've seen that as well, that is another good film. Although i like most films with Al Pachino in them. The guy's a legend.

    my girlfreind met al pachino once. she was a young girl in canada, she was on a family holiday and was staying at a fancy hotel, she went swimming in the pool there, and after a few laps, this bloke walked passed and said 'thats some nice swimming there kid'. her mum came over and told her that it was al pachino. later on, they saw him again with christopher walken having lunch, after they finished her mum went over and nicked al's newspaper. they were doing a play in the city together.

    The other great one is www.scamorama.com

    I did one once, emailed one of the scammers pretending i was a scout for Man Utd. He fell for it hook line and sinker, told him in the end that he had been scammed, he was gutted !

    Oh yeah, I've had a lot of fun reading some of the stories there about 2 years ago (didn't someone post this link on WOS back then)? Also showed the site to one of my supervisors at work and he was sitting there the next couple of days giggling his hours away, the lazy bast ;)

    In one case they asked the scammers to carve a C64 out of wood, then when it arrived the baiter claimed a rodent had eaten itself into it along with a faked photo - pure class :D -> LINK

    Superb story ! That bloke was an excellent carver though !

    Amazing at the end when you read the money these scammers make, sad to know theres so many stupid (and greedy) people out there though

    Well, may I then kindly forward your e-mail address to a good friend of mine living in Lagos so you can get some proceedings going? ;-)

    Yep and I know a Dr. in Africa who works for a bank??? Weird I know, but he recently was left some money by a wealthy something or other.

    Maybe if you send him a few grand he could release some funds for you, why not e-mail him and make some kind of "DEAL".
