I haven't been on here for quite a while, real life issues somehow got in the way but I had to come on and just say a big thank you for what you all do and for this site. If it wasn't for me finding out about 419Eater and joining a few years ago my daughter and her partner may have been 600 pounds worse off.
My first bait was with a certain K3nn3dy Col3, who is known to quite a few of you, and when my character Sist3r P4tty 0'Dor3 sadly died in a freak accident, her parents took over 'helping' him and I was so proud that my very first bait lasted almost 2 years. While I was baiting him I used to tell my family of the different types of scams and key things to look out for.
My youngest daughter has moved from home here in Australia to live with her partner in Northern Ireland ( yep, the other side of the world and boy, do we ever miss her) but they are flat hunting at present and found one that offered so much. This is the email she sent me

Haha it was so obviously a scam. It sounded so good, but it was too good. £300 a month with all the bills included in the rent (rates, water, internet, etc). In the first email they asked us about who we were and that, and it seemed good. Next email they were asking us to send £600 by western union to a friend or relative, and get a scan of the recipt so that it could be seen by a lawyer, just so we could even view the apartment.

So you see why I am so proud of being part of the community of 419Eater and the work you all do.
Now I think I will check out the surplus scams and get right back into it again with renewed vigor. Twisted Evil

Oh by the way, she is going to contact the site to get the listing removed.

Sadly it will be up again under a new account within minutes, but it will annoy them and that is what we are here for. Annoy and if that fails, annoy some more.

Wow, another old timer awakes from long hibernation. Good to see you back here, and glad to see you passed on your scam spotting skills. Hope they find a nice place in NI.

Great to see you back, and glad to know you've taught your daughter well. Thumbs up

And a two-year bait, that's a real achievement!
