Revenge on Scammers
One gal has decided that enough is enough. After one too many scams headed her way, she began to get some revenge without leaving the comfort of her horse farm in Illinois.

Instead of just ignoring the scammers, she decided to fight back. Partly to waste their time and money, and partly to increase awareness of the kinds of scams going on. She wants to help others to be aware of their schemes and hopefully she'll reduce their effectiveness.

But for us, it leaves a trail of funny exchanges with the money grubbing cheats. You can't help but cheer for them to waste money on expedited shipping costs to send their fake cashier's checks, and even to imagine their frustration when they find out they've been had and they don't get to steal anyone's money.

You can find all the scoop here... http://www.bustedupcowgirl.com/scampage.html

And as a bonus, if you are in the middle of an exchange with a scammer, you are even invited to call her for advice!

Finally!!
I'd just been bouncing their w-mils back to them so that they think my e-mail address isn't valid, but it's great that these people are being scammed.

ignatz: Your 2 links have officially made it to my iSilo library. I cannot wait to read them tonight in bed or on some long train ride (or something.)

Keep up the great work.
