Nigerian Scammer Caught Out In their Own Game

This online vigilante turns the tables and scams the nigerian scam artist: fooling them in their own game

Now, an online vigilante has turned the tables - scamming the Nigerian scammer in their own game. Have a read of their email exchanges where "Shiver Metimbers" poses as the director of Derek Trotter Fine Arts and find out how the carved Commodore 64 keyboard became a part of this funny story.

Millions of dollars have been conned out of gullible Australians who fall for a variety of Nigerian scams (also known as 419 scams) received via spam email or in a targeted response to an online advertisements they have placed. Source
