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 […]
419ers - Scammers
419 is another way of saying that something is a scam. A 419er is a scammer. 419 is the article of the Nigerian Criminal Code regarding "Obtaining Property by false pretences; Cheating". That's where the term 419 comes from.
What on earth is a machant?
10/15 2005 – FROM MR wood frank, This scammer seems to have gotten hold of a form mail with markers like {insert name here} and {insert title here}. The guy sending out this particularly spammy and badly written scam spam has made som many mistakes that I just cannot believe that anybody can fall for […]
Barrister Abbey Martins
It’s always a bit strange when `good friends´ need your name and address. It’s even stranger when lawyers want to do business worth 20 million dollars with a total stranger. If Barrister Martins indeed exists, I’m sure he would use very different techniques for laundring money though… As always with this kind of scam mails, […]
Mrs. Marie Wambekh – a passionate 419 scammer
Mrs. Marie Wambekh is probably, passionate or not, the originator of this 419 scam email from Benin. But lets pretend she is, and that she is. The mail pretends to be a reply to a mail that I should have sent her in response for an original mail. Now let’s get this clear. I never […]
Nera Wangushi of Yokozuna Financial Consultancy
Here is a Japanese variation of the ”lost relative” scam, sent to two different email addresses. None of them displaying the To recipient, but both publicly available on the www. It’s a very strange setup, and I doubt it will actually work out very well. Also, didn’t these scammers stop even for a second to […]

The story about an elderly person regretting their former life and lifestyle is spreading in the scam mails. I received a similar mail last week (from Mrs. Rama Idris), and this one is supposed to be sent by Kelvin Spence, an elderly, British, hospitalised gentleman in Dubai. Kelvin Spence has a wish to mend his […]
Mr. Cheung Pui has an obscured business suggestion
Mr. Cheung Pui, who claims to be a director at Hang Seng Bank, the second-largest bank in Hong Kong, has written me twice with the subject lines WRITE ME and CONTACT ME NOW. I won’t answer him, but in case you received a similar mail, I just thought you would maybe like to know that […]
Ms Kimaeve Lioudmila and Mikhail Khodorkovsky
Here is a new variation of the Mikhail Khodorkovsky series of scam mails. I think the aclaimed alleged (Ms. Kimaeve Lioudmila whow name is probably something else) has done her best in trying to obscure searches for her name, and therfor it is well worth publishing here in the iScam area of N!kke’s Index. Every […]
Mr. Wang Qin, iScammer from Hong Kong
I think this is the first time I receive a 419 type of scam mail from Hong Kong. It is of the no next of kin type. A large sum of money has been left with no heirs, and the scammer wants to ”save” the money from supposedly corrupt and greedy government officials. The recepient […]
