Scamming the Nigerian scammer

Louisa Hearn

June 30, 2006

 

The tables have been turned on at least one Nigerian scammer after an online vigilante successfully played him at his own game with an intricately laid "anti-scam" operation.

 

The campaign netted a life-sized wooden carving of a Commodore 64 computer keyboard which was sent all the way from Africa to the scambaiter who is code-named Shiver Metimbers.

 

Millions of dollars have been conned out of gullible Australians who fall for a variety of Nigerian scams (also known as 419 scams) received via spam email or in a targeted response to an online advertisements they have placed.

This must be something in their gene. That is why you see/meet nigerians in unthinkable places and countries like Bella Russia, Falklands or even in Greenland, anywhere in the world. If you ask him what he is doing here he would tell you that he is a businessman or he is university lecturer there :rolleyes:

I laughed my head off when I saw the name Derek Trotter and his brother Rodney Trotter.
