Fighting the Nigerian Money Scam

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the laughter-is-the-best-medicine dept.

An anonymous reader writes "One of the most notorious spams, the Nigerian Money Scam, or 419, has reared its head again with the recent arrest of a California woman who embezzled $2.1 million from her law firm. However, anti-spammer Brad Christensen has apparently been having some success scamming the scammers. This exhibit contains some of his more successful exchanges. It seems he even managed to get some of the Nigerians to fly around the world to meet him. All in all, Bravo!"

    It seems he even managed to get some of the Nigerians to fly around the world to meet him. All in all, Bravo!

    So, let's see: The Nigerians have scammed at least one person to the tune of $2.1 million dollars. However, they had to make a few useless flights around the world.

    Gee, as scams go, they seem to be ahead, so I imagine the Nigerians are saying "Bravo!"
