How many of u get those fake Nigeria e-mail scams???

It's something that helps keep the scammers occupied as well as entertainment. One guy sent a scammer to the airport over 200 miles away, and kept the scammer calling fake numbers on a regular basis. The scammer spent hundreds of dollars on phone airtime cards and who knows how much time and money driving to the airport. The scam lasted almost 4 months, and you knew the guy didn't have time to do anything else because he thought he had caught a big fish and devoted all his time talking and communicating to the scambaiter. I dunno, I think it'd be funny to try.....These people go through so much to rip other people off.....

I did the same thing and got scams. I tried selling my PS3 om ebay and got so many nigeria scams.

That's what my son was selling! So he put it in Uncle Henry's and sold it for asking price within two days! No more Craig's List here!

If you want to scambait, I suggest joining a forum like 409eater.com and learning from the people who really know how to do it. They'll mentor you and show you the tricks to do it right; it will keep you from making a lot of "n00b" mistakes (like trying to scambait with your normal e-mail address...

).

ALL the time!

Especially if I'm selling a high dollar item on Craigslist.
