I recently won a share in a $45,000,000 lottery win in the U.K. I also get a lot of emails from the same place telling me my Apple ID account needs this & that. I have never owned anything Apple & never will. Where these people get my info to begin with makes me wonder. Oh well, off to Ford to order a few 2018 Mustangs.

You are all mocking these type of emails.
The sad thing is that thousands of people (mainly the elderly and/or vulnerable) fall for this every day. These are the sort of people who simply can't afford to lose tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars. |

Here's a funny forum dedicated to Scam Baiting:
http://www.419eater.com/ They convince scammers to get funny tattoos, like " I give BJ's", or hold up messages such as " I Felch Wombats for Charlie Manson", "I can't believe it's not butter" and " Shiver me timbers" (with a patch over an eye). All part of a qualifying process, with photographic proof, before money will be sent to them. I ended up with sore stomach muscles from laughing hard, last time I visited. Even standing on high morale ground, feeling sorry for these desperate people, it'll still make you laugh.

lve followed 419eater (both .com & .net)for a very long time. loads of aussies involved in scammers on 'safaris', some of which are quite hilarious indeed. 'baits' gets to be quite enertaining. can be 'you are that stupid your willing to get a tat on ur forehead to prove who u are?' or. willing to have photos of you holding a sign saying something ridiculous.
can be an entertaining time l assure you, if nothing else to remind you how desperate some are & at the same time how stupid some can be be. cheers rij |
