http://419eater.com
419eater.com is a website dedicated to scam baiting by individuals who have turned the tables on 419 fraud con artists. These are people who use email to try to fool people into sending money with the promise of a large reward or request for assistance. While the majority of the scammers targeted are perpetrators of an advance fee fraud scam, there are others who solicit donations without promise of a return on investment.
The website chronicles various reverse scams with email threads and commentary by the participants. Often, the would-be scammers are made to pose for photographs that put them in silly poses or hold up humorous signs. One prevalent sign is "I recommend 419eater".
In some cases, the reverse scammers manage to get the scammers to send them money with a ploy similar to the original flim flam. According to the website, the proceeds of such reverse scams are given to a local charity. However, the moderators of the site, as well as an overwhelming majority of the members, have recently taken a stand against so-called cash baiting or its discussion on 419eater. This is due to legal issues as well as potential danger for the baiters.
The website was created by Mike, who is known by the name of Shiver Metimbers, founded the site when he decided to take action against the many 419 scam e-mails he had received. The 419 Eater forum is very large and has over 13 thousand registered users. Many state-of-the-art scambaiting techniques originated in the 419eater forum.
Fake bank busting
The 419 Eater community also engages in the activity of identifying and removing fake banks and other scammer websites from the internet. It does this in cooperation with The Artists Against 419 who host a large, publicly accessible database of fake banks. A large portion of their forum is dedicated to identifying and verifying fake banks.
419eater's anti-racism policy
"It should be made very clear that in no way do we target people of a certain skin colour; we simply respond to scam emails that we receive, and it is a sad fact that most of them do seem to originate from Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, Sierra Leone, and South Africa." -- from 419eater.com's disclaimer
"This site in NO WAY endorses racism. Scambaiting is NOT a racist activity. Anyone with racist views is most definitely NOT welcome on this site. 419eater maintains a ZERO tolerance policy towards racism." -- Another disclaimer -

tv got report before 1 guy fall for such trick and went to dunno africa or america and never return...
i cant believe anyone would be so dumb as to fall for such obvious scam... -
this site is fun in a way ... but if you really think that these IT savvy scammers are simpletons who'll hold signs that say "I suck" and send you the pictures, then you're probably a simpleton too .....
the trick is being played both ways ... so just have a good laugh, and forget about it ... the best thing to do about such spam is just to hit the spam button .... -
I just got this email...
Dear Sir,
I am the general manager of ALMUSTAF AGRO ALLIED INDUSTRIES,
and we are into agro allied supplies and all other livestock supply
business.
My name is Archie Bongo Seiko,
I am writing to you now to avail you of the certain business
opportunity which has presented itself,
My Chairman,. Alhaji DJAWARA ALMUSTAF(xi) is THE
PRESIDENT OF ALMUSTAF AGRO ALLIED FARMS)is a millionaire
farmer with CATTLE FARMS in MALI, SENEGAL, GUINEA,
BURKINA FASO, CHAD REP, and a new one located at
ZIMBABWE. Moreover, he is the greatest supplier of
cattle beef and other dairy products to the whole of
West Africa.
He had informed us about the huge amount of money he
spends on the purchase of a particular but very
important cattle medicine. Precisely, he buys Euro's
5,000 per carton. He asked if we can source out an organisation that
can supply him for a cheaper price.
We did market research and discovered that we can buy
these medicine in Europe for Euro 2,000 per carton.
Sir,The sole point of this mail is to let you understand that the
former suppliers were working in collarboration with me too and we
were doing quite fine until the director who was also my right hand
man died,
I have no one else to trust there and no one knows the source of these
vaccines except the late director and my humble self,However since the
death of the director,there has been no more supplies since no one
else knows where it comes from and i cannot do this business since i
work with Alhaji Almustaf,
Now ,Our organisation is dire need of a very huge supply of these
vaccine and I started searching for another partner,this time abroad
to do this business with and I came across your profile and i decided
to give you a hint to know if we can work together,
I have the contacts of the sole producers of this very vaccine and we
can buy from them at euro 2000.00 per carton and sell to my boss at
euro.4.800.00 per carton,
he is ready to make an order for two thousand cartons,we ca, get this
two thousan cartons at euro's 4.000.000.00 and sell to him at euro's
9.6000.00(nine point six million euros) which will give us a total
profit of five point six million euro's at a blow.after which i can
then retire,The financing for this project will be technical as all we
have to do is get someone whose business profile is credit worthy and
be able to convince the company to send us a sample,Alhaji Almustaf
Will pay 701% upfront once he gets the sample and the business kicks
off,
once we are through with the business,you will take 60% of the total
profit and I am very content. with forty and i will also act as your
inside man in the Almustaf organisations,BUT NO ONE IN MY ORGANISATION
MUST KNOW OF MY INVOLVEMENT IN THIS TRANSACTION.
Pls get back to me soonest.

they might cheat ur money, after the scammers asking you to withdraw money from the bank first before getting the windfall. Before the money u had withdrawn could reach to them, they will have no response. So, u will be kena cheated.Originally posted by fudgester:And unfortunately, there will always be idiots who actually do fall for it. Originally posted by de_middle:Eh why dun u just S T F U.
