Welcome Rogena

This is a quote from Rover from earlier on in this thread I hope it answers your question

Thanks for the kind comments. I'm glad you are all enjoying this new 419Eater feature.

@jimkeymaster - we have a team of Scam Tracker Editors that data mine the scammers information from, amoung other places, surplus and place it into the database. Our system geolocates the IP address and places the coordinates into a database. When a member loads up the map our system simply maps the locations onto a Google Map. (well thats basically whats happening)

@Badgerbait - We had to introduce clustering into the system otherwise it would simply look like a mess. We have now added the capability of allowing the user to determine the cluster size as well as the type of scam they are interested in looking at.

This will continue to develop. Right now we are not releasing the other information that we have on the scammers to the general public.

@conga22 - This is something we are working on. Right now we only have a handful of Scam Tracker Editors - if all the members of 419Eater start handing them information, they will be overwhelmed fairly quickly. As I'm sure you can understand every precaution needs to be taken to ensure that the data entered into the Scam Tracker is accurate, hence we are growing this system slowly right now.

419Eater.com, the largest scambaiting website in the world with just over thirty four thousand members, has announced the release of a tool to chart the locations of scammers. This is the newest addition to their seven year old campaign to bring scam awareness to the masses.

The new informational service is called Scam Tracker. While still in its infancy, "Scam Tracker" allows members of the public a pictorial view of where internet scams are originating.

Scam Tracker uses Google Maps, giving the viewer a global picture of where scammers are operating. Viewers have the ability to zoom in and get more detailed information on various types of scams, including the Scammer's name and INTERNET IP address information.

A team of 419Eater members carefully review and continually update the information, which is collected from a variety of resources, including from actual victims of the scams.

In order to view the scam tracker simply go to http://www.419eater.com and click on the Scam Tracker logo.

Only thing bad about the IP tracker is most prob know to hide behind a VPN!

^^^ Actually, relatively few know about VPNs. Just check a few posts on Scamwarners and you will regularly see IPs resolving to West Africa, India and the Far East, but the mail claiming to be from someone in the US or UK.
