    Haha! I love that website!
    This reminds me of when i was back in 1st year of secondary school.
    We had a german teacher and one of the boys in my class thought it would be funny to sing the shaggy song that goes 'mr. lover-lover..' replacing the lover-lover bit with the teacher's second name, which also began with L.

    The teacher overheard him and made him write the ENTIRE lyrics to the song 10 times :D

    Hi Karl,
    Nice to see you like our website. :)
    I have been a member there for 4 years, the Harry Potter book is pretty tame compared to some of the stuff. One of the guys convinced a scammer to make a recording of the Village People's YMCA.

    Actually quite good, listen to the whole song, I am sure anyone who listens to it will agree that it is really good.

    My favorite part was the bit where Mrs Joyce threatened to send the wrath of God down on him.

    Not dissing theism in any way but she was treating God like her personal avenge r to carry out gypsy curses

    That is fantastic, .:cool:
    Reminds me of a Scottish person who managed to get a scammer to travel to Glasgow and stand on one leg in a certain street wearing something bizzare.:D

    I love that site too. I also spent about a week in work reading all the scambaiting. Burst out laughing more then once! my favourite ones are when they get scammers to get tattoos. Hilarious!

    Anyone that wants to give it a try (scambaiting) you are more than welcome to join the forums there.
    Did anyone listen to the song and if so what did you think?

    It was unbelievably good, quite surprising.

    The one by Shiver where he got the guy to get a tatoo was gold, really well done.

    I've yet to get a single one of these emails though:(

    Usually you get them if your email address is on a website somewhere on the net. So if you want to try your hand at it, just join our forum or sign a few guestbooks on line and you will soon see the scam mail flooding in. It's best to set up a gmail account.
    Any other questions feel free to PM me

    The site is back now, had some maintenance, had a few bots sniffing around maybe in preparation for a DDOS attack. We are hurting the Russian scammers especially hard so they are trying to take the site down by any means at their disposal. Unluckily for them we are just as determined to keep the site up.
