I am actually scambaiting just over 2,400 scammers. But how do I find the time to bait so many of them at once? It’s because one of my scambaiting friends has produced something which allows you to bait lads with just 3 clicks. I can’t really say much about it out here in the open. It’s got some telephone numbers hooked up as a part of it and I have forwarded a couple of them to my phone.

Some lads rang me yesterday because the something had sent them a mail telling them another scammer wanted me to pay money to them via Western Union and they wanted to stop me from paying (so they could take my money!) and they were quite determined to stick to their rules and regulations – they wanted me to send ID before they would allow me to fly to Spain to collect my trunk boxes. I wanted to fly to Spain this weekend and I didn’t really have time to be scanning and faxing so we got into quite an argument about it. So today I sent them this little mail.

You remember that other guy I told you about? He got back to me, he seemed to know of my troubles with your security company man, and he got the owner of the company to call me. I’m going there on Saturday like I wanted to, I don’t have to send any ID, and I can pick up the consignment. It’s all under control.

See what happens when you speak to the owner instead of faffing about with assholes?

I suspect this will send them into quite a panic. I am expecting a call soon.. ;) I couldn’t really yell at the guy because it was about 2am my time when they called me so I hope they call a little earlier today and then I can really get mad.. ;)

In other Snoskred news, I went to the local sports club for a drink tonight with the other half and friends, and they had an Australian Poker League tournament on. I like poker but I didn’t like the fact this seemed to encourage every young man under the age of 30 to turn up at the club. It was really busy and I couldn’t get near the good pokie machine that always gives me money. ;( While we were there the other half announced to my Dad that we have a pool table. I expect they will wander down soon to look at it.

And, I made a cake. Yay!

A scammer has just sent me this.. ;) I have removed the lads name so he can’t google it.

Just for a bit of background, he’s sent me a fake check. For almost 500,000 in fact. I don’t have a pic of it online yet. Since he sent it I have not replied to any of his emails and he’s freaking out.. ;)

The email subject – Atackers closer

Please note that i have been attacked by men of Mr. (His boss’s name) over your ceasure of his monies that was sent to you through check.Am indded very surprise that you could treat me this way having taken you in confidence and thought you are a transperent woman.

Am just writing you because they have promised come for you also to attacke you on your Island saying that you must pay with blood if you wants to paly games and fast one on them.

Better get to him and explain what happened to his money which he said you cleared and ceased.

You can get back to me if you wish.

Oh right, well I’ll be waiting on my island.. which is about 200kms from where I really live.. ;) and nobody lives there.. hehe but you know, I may have a telephone number for this guy. Im gonna have to give him a call..

The 419 Letters Repository

Leave a comment Posted on September 27, 2006January 12, 2015 by Snoskred

Hi everyone. You’ll note a couple of changes to the sidebar over there —> one of them being the addition of the 419 Letter Repository. This is a project I’m pretty excited about at the moment, getting 419 mail published on the web so that potential victims searching for an email address, scammer name, fake lotto info, telephone numbers, even just a sentence found in a scam letter will lead them to a site which identifies it as a scam. It’s not the only site on the net doing this and the others are fantastic as well but the more the merrier. Each scambaiter gets a different cross-section of emails from the scammers – and you would receive different scam mails to what I do, etc.

>If you do get 419 scam emails please I ask you to forward them to me so that they can be published – the email addy to send them to is – 419scammail@gmail.com – and I thank you in advance for your assistance.

The second thing you will notice is way down the page, just past the sun moon and stars weather square – there are now links for support for scam victims, information on 419 scams, and links to scambaiting websites. I put those together for the 419 repository and then figured why not add them here as well. :)

Scambaiting in a nutshell

What is scambaiting? This one’s for the non-scambaiters visiting here.. ;)

Basically it is where someone pretends to be a “victim” – ie someone who is going to pay these scammers money.

You play along with their scam for as long as you can, wasting their time and hopefully their money – by getting them to make calls to you, of course you have to play it safe and not give them any real details.

Thanks to the internet and Skype In, you can get them calling you and you can talk to them. That is something I used to do a lot, but these days I am mainly a text baiter.

The more scammer time wasted by a scambaiter who knows it is all a scam, who will never send any money, and who will ask simple yet idiotic questions designed to make the scammers do actual work answering those questions, the less scammer time can be spent on real victims.
