“Welcome to Mac’s Bait Store – Where we keep them wriggling like a worm on a hook…”
They say the website is dedicated to annoying, confusing, confounding, teasing, and aggravating 419 scammers who prey on the innocent because they are too stupid and lazy to get a real job.
That is perhaps a harsh attitude towards scammers but these people do steal from anyone, including the most vulnerable with no thought as to the misery they cause.
Mac says:
- Does someone you never met and do not know want to give you millions of dollars?
- Did you win a lottery that you never entered?
- Did someone you just met on the Personals ask you for money?
- Did you receive an offer that seems too good to be true?
These are all scams – these people want to steal your hard earned money!
Mac believes that reporting scams to the authorities maybe but that you can choose to have some fun with the scammers and waste their time.
Scambaiting
This typically means responding to a scam email and pretending that you are interested in what they are offering, and posing as a potential victim.
The key reason for this is to waste the scammers time so they cannot move on to their next victim.
It can also be fun. Lots of information and stories at Mac’s Bait Store about successful scambaiters.
If you have any experiences with these scams do let me know, by email.
