(26,240 posts)The "hall of shame" photo section where they post photos of scammers is hilarious. They talk the scammers in to sending a photo as a sort of password.

(117,947 posts)I'm monitoring my father's emails for the next few months while he is abroad in Asia, where he hopes to become the oldest man to climb Mt Everest. Normally, my mother handles his affairs when he travels, but one of her aunts recently slipped while re-roofing her guest house, so Mother set off cross-country several days ago on her motorbike to check up on her and discuss the situation with other family members. Mother has become somewhat unpredictable in recent years, and I am afraid no one will know where she is until she actually arrives in Yellowknife, which I hope will be sometime this week but might be as late as next week. I am trying to contact Father's attorney but his phone number seems to have been changed: the number I was given fifteen years ago now rings a brothel somewhere in Nevada. I do regret the inconvenience to you, but I cannot promise to clear this up before mid-July. In view of the extenuating circumstances, please consider an extension
Sincerely

(50,419 posts)Are you supposed to send them $550 or $350? And you'd think even the worst 419 scammer would know Americans, like the ones who work at the FBI, don't refer to their own currency as USD.
Now, these 419 scammers...do they work freelance or are there companies that do this?
