I know this is a newbie question but where do those nicknames come from?

I PuppyPurchaser, that is a little test to see if newer menbers have actually read the stickys and announcements at the top of each forum. Guess what... Wink

Just because I am a nice guy, (and I actually have references to that fact) I will post the answer to the question you asked. Cool

Question: What is a "Mugu" and a "Guyman"? [link]

Answer: Mugu (and its variants, like 'maye' or 'maga') is slang for (depending on who you ask), big idiot, big fool, moron etc, so on and so forth. The scammers use the term mugu for the people they scam. We, the scambaiters, in turn use it to describe the scammers. And if you're read any of the baits on this or other websites you'll know why we do that.

Guyman (also 'guy' or 'g') on the other hand is what the scammers use to refer to themselves and each other.

We at Eater frequently refer to them as 'lads', which is our 'affectionate' reference for these criminals.

You don't have to thank me, just send money via WU... Confused
