Apparently so. A lawyer friend was contacted by one of his clients after getting a 419 request. He told the client that it was probably a scam. The client responded anyway. Not sure how much he lost. There are some people who bait scammers, just to keep them busy. I think the site was 419 eater. One guy got the scammer on the phone, and used sound clips from Kindergarten cop. It was pretty funny listening to the scammer describe who his Daddy was, and what he did!

I like the suggestion from Shaun! I so enjoy when the scammer gets scammed!! Actually there was a story in the news when a senior woman did scam the scammer! she was able to turn things around and had the scammer believe she would send him more money if he could prove it wasn't a scam by sending her $100 and he did!  |
