Entertainment in the World of Scams

Scams are a serious problem, but there are some very funny episodes in the scam world.  Especially, when scam-baiters turn the tables on scammers and scam the scammers. A number of websites specialize in this (which we don't recommend you try on your own - many scammers are violent, dangerous scumbags).

Here are some of our favorites:

• 419eater.com

• www.Scanorama.com by Eve Edelson, a computer systems engineer from California who wrote, "Scamorama: Turning the Tables on Email Scammers. " - it is VERY entertaining!)
• www.yeawhatever.catholiccall.org
• The world's dumbest Phishing Scammer - an audio recording of a call with a stupid scammer and his un-intimidated potential victim
