Dealing with 419 fraud
 
Annoyed by the constant stream of "I HAVE $10,000,000 IN A TRUNK" emails?

How's this for a way to deal with them: http://www.419eater.com
:D :}

Very tempted to give this approach a try.

The link's currently giving "bandwidth exceeded": I assume it's another play-em-along site? If you want to do it, use a throw-away webmail account. If you're not 100% comfortable with your ability to stay anonymous on the net, don't do it.

This Guy has some incredibly funny episodes stringing the 419'ers along. He even managed to get some of them to give him money.

Yep it is string along stuff, but he has pictures galore sent by the fraudsters to try and meet conditions he has set.

100% agree, on the annonimity comment, recent cases have shown these people to have help on the ground in Europe and Australia.
