Crime / Re: A Scam Bait That Has Gone Too Far (419eater.com) by TonyDEE: 2:18am On Jun 19, 2007
Go ahead shoot the messenger.

i'm sure if you had all spent just a few minutes engaging the thick jelly like blob in your heads (that is mistakenly called a brain) by actually reading the post, you'll realise that at no point did i support what the guy did. If there was any proof needed that only people who can read should use the web, this is it.

I feel sorry for the guy and the desperation he feels, that the penny hasn't dropped shows how deluded he is.
That our citizens are forced to humiliate themselves this way is a sad reflection of the state of our nation. That ignorant fools should respond to the initial post with dumb ass remarks, is also a sad reflection of how we don't care about anybody but ourselves and then we wonder why the country is in such a bad state.
Crime / A Scam Bait That Has Gone Too Far (419eater.com) by TonyDEE: 10:29am On Jun 11, 2007
Normally i would be happy to see naija scammers get a taste of their own medicine but this particular scam bait has gone too far.
It all started off early this year when someone from the 419eater forum called Scam Patroller decided to bait some poor naive scammer who sent the email below

Dear xxxxx xxxxx,

Thank you for your email, it came to me as a surprise.

I am very interested in learning a lot more about the oracle handed down by your past fathers, is it a very powerful oracle? As the President of the United States of America, I have great power, and such an oracle would be of great use to me in fighting the axis of evil.

I see from your email that you have made a pact with God, well I believe that God has brought us together for the common good of all men on earth, this can only be fate. Like you, I also have a great interest in singing, I am a good Christian man and sing at the White House church service every Sunday, some may say I am not very Christian, but that's only because of my Job as President of the United States of America, a lot of people hate me, but I have no time for those losers, we are the winners, they are the losers. Please tell me in detail, everything you hope to achieve in your life.

When you reply to me, you must only ever use my personal email address, this one:

xxxxx@xxxxxxxx

Never send any emails to my xxxxx@WhiteHouse.gov address from where I am sending you this email now, that is strictly for presidential use only, and I may not receive your emails as they are strictly monitored by my chief of staff.

Sincerely,

Gxxxxx W Bxxx .

Since then the guy has sent a video of himself and his friends performing YMCA by the village people

The lead singer in the 'group' is the mugu being scammed, The guy is obviously deluded or really really stupid.

Initially i had found the whole thing funny but it has got to stop as they are now asking him to send naked pictures. (which it seems he is going to send soon)

The guy sent out a scam email 'asking for Help', its not as if he sent out a 419 email. They've had their fun by getting him to spend all his money doing a recording and a video, but its time for it to stop, so if anyone knows the guy in the video please tell him to stop emailing George W Bush ; - )

i think he uses a cybercafe somewhere in festac town in Lagos
