Well its far from my first scam bait but I did finish off one story of Sir Shivers.
I noticed a site listed here http://www.419eater.com/html/bandofdavid2.htm at the very end, and to my amazement it was still active as it was in Dec 05.
I reported the website but not the email addys (why would I want to stop people sending him spam).
A couple of days passed and I recieved this e-mail.

And upon checking the site im glad to see it is now
404 Error - File Not Found
The page or file you are looking for (http://exquisiteglobalint.8m.com/index.html) is not here.

Only a tiny step but it was fun to see all that work the guy put into making a clone site go to waste from a quick redirect to a Shiver Metimbers story.

Im not sure that this was worth a thread but I couldnt find a 'mini story' thread of some sort (I didnt trawl through every thread however).
If there is indeed such a thread then I offer my appologies.

Nice work.

The site may have been shut down, but as going through aa419.org forums on killing banks, it's not uncommon for the sites to pop up again. When it's noticed, just kill it again. BTW, take a look at the stickies. You should be able to claim a flag to the country the site was from. Very Happy
