OK, we all hate those Nigerian scammers who spend their lives trying to figure out new ways to rip people off. (It's called a 419 scam.) Well, there are people out there whose hobby is scamming the scammers - they make the thieves think they believe their story, and take them for a ride. One of the best 419 baiters out there is a guy who goes by the name "Shiver Metimbers." One of his best scams is at the link; go to the home page to read more.

Read some of the others - these guys are great! They're also doing a public service in that they keep the scammers occupied so they're not spending their time trying to rip other people off.
It was a little gross, but after the bit about the donkeys the scammee was actually quite indignant. "Let me put it clear Mr. Juan am a practising Christain. It is against my faith to involve in such an attrocity." That was all kinds of funny.

It feels good to laugh this hard.....anyone think Mr. Metimbers would care to take on the Head Scammer of the USA? Just imagine the banter THAT could create!
