Welcome to Scamorama on Blogspot

I run Scamorama and this is the Scamorama blogspot page. Gotta keep up with the Joneses, and the Abachas.

Scamorama is about '419' scambaiters.
The '419' scam is a form of advance fee fraud.
Scambaiters are people who write back to '419' scammers just to yank their chains, waste their time, or as the British say, wind them up.
The resulting correspondence amounts to a literary genre, which is curated at Scamorama.

This scam has been around for centuries in various countries - the current version is going great guns under the management of a certain crowd in and from Nigeria. [They may soon have to give way to experts from Eastern Europe, who are less funny but equally driven.]

The well-known independent publisher, The Disinformation Company invited me to write a book based on the Scamorama web site.

It came out in September of this year.
It's called Scamorama: Turning the Tables on Email Scammers.
You can find it in bookstores, and at Amazon et al.

Disinfo set up a Scamorama page at MySpace. I will be adding to that as well.
