nice

if you can find a copy of a moneygram receipt mebbe a 2 minute photoshop job can cause them to waste an hour or so going to the post office and faffing about trying to collect a non existing moneygram.

I'm currently hunting down one of the money gram receipt generators that folks use for scam baiting. See if i can waste their time

I never knew you could google the image contents.... learn something new each day

Fornowagain probably used the Firefox add-on called Tineye. It's like doing a reverse phone number search, but for images instead. It shows you where else on the net that picture is hosted.

^ You don't need any plugins or software, Google has this ability.

Go to google images and click the small camera icon in the right of the search textbox and prepare for you mind to be blown.

Ahhhhhhh I just checked, Spunkey, and I see what you mean. Didn't know that Google had reverse image look-up as well. Cheers :-)

I found that difficult to read, it's just nonsensical waffle...!

If any people fall for that, then

Just reading all the grammatical mistakes in that letter would send me walking away.

This exactly.
I understand people make the occasional mistakes but...the way it's worded.....I just don't trust people who can't spell properly for some reason.

This could be fun

Roalith · 27 Jan 2013 at 21:27

Wow, that just reads like a Nigerian translation!

holymonk · 27 Jan 2013 at 21:28

These are all over gumtree.

I suggest you guys check out 419eater.com, scamming the scammers is pretty awesome.

It's a shame that so many people fall for this and other types of scam but I guess they are working on that some people's greed brain cell will get over excited at the prospect of a cheap deal.

If I go on the number of emails I have had over the last few months I stand to gain about £4 billion from various African states and lotteries around the world.

Scam the scammers - waste their time and play with their minds.....
