Scamming the Scammers

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 | sociology

Hands up those of you that haven’t received a Nigerian 419 scam email. Thought so.
While most of us just delete the mail and get on with our lives, a questionable bunch of scam-vigilantes devote time and effort and cunning to try to scam the scammers.
This video shows just how far the baiting can go, as the hapless young Nigerian scammers perform their very own version of The Village People classic, YMCA.
Another video has the scammer try to injure himself in a stunt-video promo.

If this sort of thing tickles your bristles, then get on over to the master baiting HQ, 419eater.com.
