Interview With a Convicted 419 Scammer

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-am-the-prince-of-your-heart dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Scam awareness website www.scam-detectives.co.uk has published a two part interview with convicted Nigerian 419 scammer, 'John.' 'John' talks about his experiences of scam victims, how he gains their trust and convinces them to part with their money, and how he would go back for another 'bite' after the original scam, posing as a law enforcement official who has apprehended the scammer and recovered the funds ... for a fee, of course."

    When was the last time you had to pay the cops for a stolen wallet or purse that belonged to you?

    There's actually a very interesting answer to that question. If you send me a small shipping and handling fee (cash only please), I'll mail you the answer.

    So what's the solution?

    Nuke Nigeria from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
