But they DO have a facebook page last time I checked to swap/sell scripts and tips. I'd post the link if I wasn't at work and could access facebook

And here's the link:

It worked when I last looked, otherwise it's called Mugu must pay. I was thinking maybe a fake facebook account and some de-education could be in order...

It's very contrary to the mugu's mind to think about a group of organised individuals actively spending time derailing his plans for the greater good.

Why?

1. Lads do not care for the concept of the 'greater good' and do not fathom it is likely.

2. Lads have neither the time nor the money to browse 419eater, and if they were to, I'd be glad, it wouldn't help them sneer a victim (nothing on this site even remotely aids that) and it would waste their time further. It would also make them paranoid Twisted Evil

3. Lads are greedy and want something for nothing, anyone who thinks they can get something for nothing is invariably as gullible as their victims. They'll believe our deception because they want to.

Keep in mind: Paranoia among the lads helps the victims as well. If a potential victim starts to ask questions the scammer could very well drop them.

So in a way, with every scammer you scar by making them build pyramids, take photos or go on a safari helps potential future victims.

I really LOVE creating paranoia in my lads! It really does work to use a fake lad to do this. I have played lads against each other before, too. That's always fun. Laughing

@Chrys~ That facebook thing is interesting. I just got myself a new pet recently, and he asked my character to set up an account on facebook. I'd NEVER had a lad ask me to do that, "so we can chat better". They always insist on YIM. Perhaps he is a part of that little group there or something. Of course, my character is brand new to the internet, and is just learning how to use her computer so she hasn't made the facebook account (yet). She told him she doesn't know what that facebook thingy is. I wasn't going to bother with it, but maybe I will, just so I can see what this lad is up to... Shocked

i skimmed through the FB page.
I personally find these kinds of site quite interesting from an observant's point of view.

Yeah, the Facebook page was interesting. It really does show that these scammers do not care about their victims and have no remorse for their actions.

It's interesting that these lads would surface on such a popular networking site...

There's a message on there now with a hotmail E-mail address in it.
Is that a potential victim they're passing around?
