Be sure to check out the Letters Archive where you can read about vigilantism at its finest, and also check out The Trophy Room of pictures of the scammers holding signs at the request of the scambaiters that they hope will lead them to riches.
How about we execute them instead and actually end the problem. Here or abroad, Delta needs practice.

SCAM!
Thanks for the warning. I didn't take the bait. Whew!
I think lowbridge is an old pro at this.
It was a small victory, but it cost them real money and time.
The latest scam I've gotten a few calls from is someone wanting to pray for me. I bet it will cost a few bucks to get those prayers actually said.
Not me——I just hang up-——why waste MY time?

I found that site maybe ten years ago and don’t think I’ve laughed so hard at anything online before or since! The epitome of “don’t get mad, get even”!
hahaha, loved this one -

lol’ed, the terrorism form was great!
The Road to Darfur was pretty good as the scammer got 2 of his relatives in trouble. Wont give the whole story away but here it is:

For a time I would talk about my fantasies concerning Rachel with the friendly callers who promised lower interest rates. I always asked to talk to her but for some reason she was always busy. So frustrating.
I actually enjoy the scammers especially the “Microsoft” guys.
The call, and I break out my Linux system and drive them up the wall with it.
Then I get them to give me THEIR IP address, and then begin a DoS attack on them from multiple locations.
It’s really funny when they start complaining that their computer is slowing down, and they can’t figure out why. Bit by bit, I keep launching larger and larger attacks. Then I deliver the Coup d’Grace and lock them up. When they are completely locked up, I tell them it was I who launched a DoS attack on THEM and tell them that I will release the DoS if they PAY ME $500.
I haven’t had one of those calls in over a year since I did this last.
I must say, reading through one of the scambaiter reports was more fun than reading a good book. I read the one called “Book Worm”. It’s fascinating to see how the African scammer is then scammed himself and actually falls for it thinking he is going to get paid for an audition for a audio book company. He ends up reading and recording the entire “HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy” and sending it to the baiter.
I enjoy wasting THEIR time and building up their hopes for making some $$ off a rube. I always use the same hick name, ask them if their offer is through Costco (it always is), ask if i need a passport to go to Mexico, etc.. I seem to be getting fewer calls as time goes by.

I had one scammer message me the other day, asking me to call him back. It seems that I had a suit being levied against me for tax evasion. I assume that if I called him back, I would need to give my account information, so that a money transfer would end my troubles.
If I called him back, I wouldn’t give him my account info. I would ask for his account info, so that I could help other people to resolve their troubles as well. :-)
