Interview With a Convicted 419 Scammer

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."

Most uneducated bastards with an IQ lower than room temperature that come from a bad neighborhood have to choose at 17: Policeman, Marine, or Criminal.

Regardless of what they choose, they are there to have fun, get money and free stuff, and act like total dicks. They have no ethics, so they'll still, kill, rape and lie without limitations.

Well, considered the UK colonized most of this countries, took their man and sold them as slaves, and mostly just stole everything they had for centuries, and we are not talking long long ago, you released some countries (Like Nigeria) as late as the 1960's, it sounds at least fair that you somehow repaired all that damage. I'm not saying you have to write checks, but letting them enjoy the country you built using THEIR MONEY, WORK AND RESOURCES sounds like the least you could do.
