Guys, anyone here ever been to Scambaiters.com or 419eater.com? These are people with too much time and mischief on their hands who respond to Nigerian "scam" emails about inheriting millions of dollars or whatever, and then proceed to lead the scammer around by his nose for months and months through bogus stories and emails, wasting the scammer's time and money and having a hilarious blast in the process eventually posting the results. Maybe one of us needs to set up a fake email address and start corresponding with this scumbag, and if nothing else we can waste his time. Say we really want the item and are willing to pay DOUBLE what the price is, but first we require scans, photos, signed affadavits from the authors, all kinds of crap, just to see what kind of ridiuclous crap the scammer will try and recreate to get a hand on our (nonexistent) money. I've got some ideas about a collector of D&D who is Mark Cuban wealthy and wouldn't mind spending hundreds if not thousands on goodies but is VERY picky about his product, and also maybe just a little bit insane, this could be a pretty good bit. Aneoth, I'll see you and Pain Saturday, maybe we can work up something between the three of us, I'll bring some sample emails we can send to this person to rock their world. In the meantime, anyone who has had a bogus Second Chance offer please post here the content as well as the email address of the loser trying to pull the scam, the more stuff we get on him the more believible the counter scam will be......Mike B.

Funny stuff.
Badmike wrote:Aneoth, don't reply to the offer, I have a bogus email I'm going to send from an anonymous aol account. I told them my yahoo account has been closed and they should send all info to the aol address. If they bite, it should be funny. Regardless I'll post what I sent and what I get as a reply.Mike B.
