Greetings In Jesus Name!

What an ironic title to give to a book that centre around 419. To the uninitiated (419 refers to the section of the Nigerian penal code that deals with fraud.)

The above book has been published by Mike Berry whom the New York Times says he describes himself as a scam-baiter. NYT writes”A scam-baiter known as Mike Berry has published a book of his favorite tactics with, yes, and a somewhat misleading title”.

Greeting in Jesus Name!

Mike Berry claims “Scam-baiters scam the scammer. They antagonize, humiliate and frustrate scammers who think they have an unwary victim”. He went further to state that “My reason for scam-baiting is to waste the time and resources of the scammer,” said a scam-baiter with the Web name of Scam Patroller, who declined to provide any identification beyond an e-mail address. “Each minute a scammer spends on my bait cannot be used to scam a real victim”.

Beware! when you receive this kind of proposal, it is a scam. Hit the delete key without hesitation. The interesting thing about this particular mail is that the sender is not only targeting English speakers alone, French speaking folks are targets as well.
