Here is a link to a recent TV report by a local station on scam baiting. It includes an interview with a scam baiter and some trophy pictures. I searched the forum and did not find this so I hope it's not previously posted.

Well it's gotta be someone in here -- the tip-off is the bread on the head. Or is that a universal tool of humiliation used by all scambaiters?
On an off-topic note -- as a writer, I had the hardest time reading that article. Whoever wrote that should be fired. I don't think I've ever seen such a poorly written article come out of a professional news organization, in terms of grammar, construction, etc.
But of course that's not relevant -- it's still a good thing that the word is getting out, as hopefully a few more potential victims will be alerted and won't go sending in their Social Security checks to mugus. |

If that's representative of journalism in the US then I'm packing my bags and applying for a job. I could do way better than that. C for effort F for english skills. He only gets a C because of the subject matter. |

Much of the text appears to be a partial and condensed transcript of the video. I agree, it is hard to read. |

Bear in mind, that is a TV report, not print journalism. They are not required to write, just read. |

yeah, maybe it'd be more bearable on video than on "paper" |

On the clip you will see he got the scammer to write TSB which suggests the guy frequents The Scambaiter dot com rather than Eater. |
