Reverse scamming, or scam baiting is a dangerous pass time, but can be rather fun, at leas at 419eater.com.

The scambaiters over at 419eater.com are doing a great job at scamming any 419 scammer they can get their hands on. I have followed them with interest, even though I’m not one of those with enough time on my hands, nor the nerve to try to rip 419 scam artists off the way these guys do.

This how 419eater.com present their activities:

So what is scambaiting? Well, put simply, you enter into a dialogue with scammers, simply to waste their precious time and resources. Maybe if you are VERY lucky you’ll scam them out of some cash! Although this site concentrates mainly on the ”419” type scam, we are happy to bait other types of scammers if and when the opportunity arises.
