Doug,

This thread livened up again, and I noticed this post. I stumbled across 419baiter.com ten year or so ago. All this in response to desperate scammers in Nigeria who somehow have computer access to the net. The 410 comes from the phone code for Nigeria. The counter-ploys are usually hilarious! The scammers call their victims "mugus", which means "big fool"; ironically, the term is now used to refer to the scammers, themselves. How do you persuade someone who is trying to scam you to send you a pic of him/hermself holding a dead fish on top of their head? Check out a couple of these sites and find out how it is possible to counteract an email from a princess that asks to use your bank account to park a half a million dollars temporarily--of course, you'd get a hefty cut!

I am shopping for Range Rovers and Jaguars almost all the time. Ran into SEVERAL scammers (maybe the same "outfit"), that advertise prices too good to be true. But you never know. I was a car dealer in the 90s, and some people ARE actually going through divorces, hardships, etc. and sell their stuff CHEAP.

So once I contact these, and some BS story usually follows,......"car is in XX city ready to be shipped, transaction will be handled through Ebay, the current owner is in XX city/country/being "deployed" etc." I send the "seller" an email, agreeing to everything, and offering to pay with the cashier's check from my employer (AT&T, Coca Cola,....imagination) that I just happen to have in my possesion, ready to mail out. The check is about 2K OVER the asking amount, and all the seller has to do, is to deposit this check in his/her bank account, and WIRE me the difference! I even offer a reward (5-6 hundred over the asking amount for the vehicle, ...just for his trouble). I also tell them how I trust them to wire me the difference, and I will take the possesion of the vehicle in the city specified.

Nobody EVER took my "offer", and I never heard back from them.
