We've all gotten them.. Those get rich quick e-mails from Africa.. Well I have a knack for having them find me in chat and I have a hobby.. tormenting them.. stringing them along making them look foolish and publishing it here for all to see.. Who knew scams could be so funny

Declining Quality

It's been a slow couple of weeks in the scam world. There have been plenty of scam artists around but either the word has gotten out that that there are people like me jerking their chain or they are just much poorer quality scam artists. Most of them won't even enter into a conversation any more. They make their pitch and if you don't bite right away they stop chatting. It could be a good thing, maybe they are meeting with less success. One can hope, but my fear is there is no shortage of gullible people in this world to rip off.

Today I finally had someone chat with me for a few minutes. Same old MO beautiful picture, from the states with a store in Africa. This one said she was from San Francisco which was interesting since that's where I live but this one didn't even try to convince me. As soon as I pointed out that she couldn't actually tell me where she was from she gave up. You just don't see good scam artists any more... Where are the ones that take pride in their work?
