    @George-K I used to look at a site called 419eater.com

    419 is the Nigerian law code against internet fraud.

    Anyway, there are some great anti-scam things pulled by people on there.

    Here is an example of a funny one where he gets the scammer to send him wood carvings, etc. LOL

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Now, George. Last week you got 18 meelyon (and a fucking half!) dollars. That's enough for you. You need to allow me some other deserving person a crack at this prize.

          @Catseye3 I was just worried that I was under a rest.

            They must have a certain percentage of successes otherwise they would not still do it. Hard to imagine, but they must.

              The "Glitter Booby-Trap" guy did a video exposing some of the call-center frauds in India. It's astonishing how effective these a-holes are. It only takes one email to become profitable, and you can send out millions - basically for free. A total loss of $60 million dollars lost to scammers.
