Scamming the scammers

We all hate junk mail, and it seems like it will never stop jamming up our Inboxes. Whether it’s elixirs for male enlargement, vacations to nowhere, or the infamous Nigerian bank scam, we all wish someone would do something to end the madness.  Well somebody, actually somebodies are doing something about it. They’re called Scambaiters and they are a group of anyonymous web citizens dedicated to making the lives of those junk mailers a living hell. Instead of falling for the ploy, they bait the scammers into believing there is money in it for them, but send the scammer on a “safari” which sees them in different countries (most of them politically unstable), without money and without resources to rescue themselves from it. The idea behind it is, to keep the scammers incapacitated and away from their computers for as long as possible and as humilating as possible. Their methods, some may see as crossing the line, but as the Scambaiters will remind you, these people are professional criminals.  Check out their recent bait conquests here.
