The ongoing ISIS massacres

What would we do with a million new OT posters?

Disappear in the crowd and finally not have every other thread about Speer, Ben or Fun?

[Aeson]

We could use them as stand-ins for any sea-borne Polymeets.

I remember when those guys were just guys.

The other day I was talking to a patient who has a brother worked for an Amreican intelligence agency in Nigeria. He had something to do with monitoring internet crimes. He claims the US has a list of over one million Nigerians involved in internet criminal activity.

Having a few Nigerian friends and knowing a little bit about the country, I can certify that their skill in making money and taking money from the greedy and unscrupulous is not mythical.

Then why not edit the post to have the correct poster attributed the quote?

Because, as the song (almost) goes, time was fleeting. Also my 'gave a damn' was missing in action that day.

Back in the days of my short-term obsession with scam-baiting, I frequently ran into the assertion that a full fifth of Nigeria's economy was tied up in advance fee fraud in some fashion. Never saw it backed up, though. Also, they don't just take from the greedy; I believe they'll happily impersonate charities.

?

So you basically trolled scammers?

[Elok]

Nah, too lazy to do much of it myself. But I dug through the exploits of others who jerked them along. The idea is to waste as much of their time (and sometimes money) as possible; I'm not sure if it happens much anymore, after a while the scammers got a lot more wary.

Did I say that Nigerian fraudsters were ethical ?


No sirree bob.

Of course not. I just remember the one scammer I actually tried to bait--a charming fellow who'd decided to impersonate a charity that raised money for kids with heart defects. But somebody simply got his e-mail address shut down before I could take it anywhere. Which is probably the better course to take, unless you're really bored.

Yeah.
