What better way to keep a scammer busy than to make them copy an entire book by hand?

Nahh.. give me David 'Spider letter' Thorne any day.

No offence, just not my thing.
Also, who's sad enough to scan 290 pages as well?!

Down the page of photographed scammers, on the left, is a guy with a loaf of bread, (I think) on his head. hahaahahahaha

They obviously have a good sense of humur.

I can't really access these photos. If anyone can find these or others, please post them up. Give us all a good larf.

It was kinda funny... More the circumstances, not the content of the messages.

419eater is fairly cringey by and large. During the 3 or 4 tales I've read over the years I've felt like I'm catching loserdom from the sado's who spend days emailing d'Africans, putting these stories together, scanning those pages, etc etc.

WOW. He gets the guy to carve a head, then paint a 17ft pirate poster, (which he fakes), and then we end up with a 'Dead Parrot sketch' acted by some Nigerians. LOL


The carved head is pretty cool.

That was brillant, funniest thing I've read in awhile. I really dont know how people can fall for these emails. Those Nigerians must think theyre the smartest people in the world sitting in their internet cafes coming up with those sh!tty elaborate stories and sitting back waiting for the money to start rolling in.

Those stupid scammers who thought they were getting paid for it,thats who. The guy who posted this only had to post them from his email.

I love that site, check this one out - he made an idiot scammer read the entire hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy book aloud, and he put it up online. Pure hilarity!
