OT: How to Embarrass Email Scammers (funny!)
Malrassic Park
I did not know that scam-baiting existed until today. A scam baiter
will for example entice a scammer into traveling 4,000 miles to pick
up a western union payment that doesn't exist. Of course the "payment"
was based on a fraudulent promise made by the scammer, so it's all
good -
Even better, this Nurse Nasty has enticed scammers into taking
pictures of themselves dressed up like comic book heroes. NN then put
the pix into comic book formats complete with word balloons.

I'm beginning to understand this site a little better. The posters
here collect "trophies" to place in their signature lines. For ex, a
symbol that looks like a safari hat means that a scammer was enticed
to leave on "safari" (sometimes thousands of miles) to obtain his
fraudulent funds which never arrived. But there are a bunch of other
"trophies" that I still don't understand. They are collected for
making them work hard for their money (filling out reams of paperwork
and checking off thousands of boxes on fake forms), making them spend
more money then they make (such as the $5 an hour charges at some
internet cafes), and sometimes even being arrested and having their
scammer sites torn down.
