I LOL'd many times myself as I watched this. I love the demented gleam in his eye, and his enthusiastic responses... Just funny as hell.

That must've been fun! I'm tempted but don't know if I want to spend that much time on this -- I'm glad this guy did, though!

TITLE: Busted!
SCAMMER NAME: Ony Obo
SCAMMER LOCATION: Lagos, Nigeria
SCAMBAITER: Shiver Metimbers


For a slight change, we have a scammer trying to ply his trade via a different routine. This time it's a repentant dying man, wanting to distribute his millions to charity. Of course, were someone to reply to this email wanting to help, the victim would have course pay fictitious "fees" to a fake barrister that the scammer would hire to handle the cash transfer.

We've had carvings and artwork from scammers on quite a few occasions now, and I think it's time to move on to other ways to cause misery for these thieves, so for my final attempt at getting artwork out of a scammer I'll try for something a little different.



It all starts way back near the end of July 2006...


Hilarity at link.....

I found this when watching a hilarious Reggie Watts TED talk. This was a suggested talk, so I took a chance and clicked the link ... Well worth it!

I was going to thank you for the ABC link on the Trump/Russia story but it got locked at LBN.
Found this in your history; it was a hoot. Thanks twice.

Thanks for replying - and glad you enjoyed this!!

(Too bad that LBN thread about the ABC story got locked. I hope it's being reposted elsewhere.)
