I've got a good little story. A coworker of mine decided to beat the scammer behind these "Nigerian forture" mails at his own game, by actually replying to the mail and feigning interest. He's had the guy going for a couple weeks now, asserting that he's very close to giving him his account #, but just needs to know this or that, etc. He's created an alternate persona for himself- an elderly immigrant who runs a "prophylactic repair" business and has serious gastointentinal trouble. You should see some of the stuff he's written- and gotten a reply to. It's a riot. This is getting to be a common internet pastime. I've seen several websites with teams of under-entertained folks who spend much of their time pretending to be naive victims for the scams. I recall reading one person's log of emails between himself and a gold mine scammer in Africa. He was so convincing that he actually persuaded the con man to send him an ore sample worth about $125. It was nice to see a conner get conned for a change. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) |
