Title: Your favourite story of hitting back at scammers (or spammers)
Post by: Highmac on May 18, 2007, 04:27:18 AM

This great tale of international co-operation is a fairly lengthy read, but leaves one with a satisfyingly warm glow because the scammer got what he deserved. It's a while ago now, but it's a nice reminder that scammers don't always win

A 'page turner" for sure. Thanks, Neil.

This puts me in mind of Paddy's (I think it was) posting several years ago, of the defrauded consumer who pursued relentlessly a crook who had defrauded him (also) in a PB sale . . . to the point, I seem to remember, of an arrest and a conviction.

If this miscreant had to pay for that "device" then it is sweet justice indeed, and all the more so for the author of the counter-scam to be able to "share" it.

I remember reading that a while back and laughing til the tears rolled at the pictures of what he sent.

That was funny, even just reading bits and pieces.
