Scamming for Fun (how to scam the scammers)
Did you know that scamming and anti scamming is now a digital sport? I kid you not there are many forums and other websites dedicated to it. 419Eater is one of these well-known spots. Careful if you go to that link it is just chock full of people that spend their precious hours of life trying to trick you into giving them your stuff.
Have you ever wondered why these emails have such bad grammar and seem so obvious? Simply because it gives them a higher closing rate. All the drunk and lonely people that go through with actually giving money to these crazy people tend not to notice all the glaring details that prove it to be what it is. So in order to not waste their time with individuals who will never buy the garbage they peddle they just use bad English and obvious ploys to get rid of the intelligent people right off the bat.
Some staples of this are;
Any use of the word kindly
Need for you to send money first
Anything to do with western union or MoneyGram with people you don't know
Your first thought is “this can't be right”
Anything from the US government. Who has gotten an email from the Government they didn't ask for?
Emails that tell you not to tell anyone about it. We all want to believe we are worthy of real secrets. Most of us are not.
Anybody that calls themselves rich. Unless they have Bitcoin, then you know they are a scam.
If you check your inbox or the forum I posted above you will find some real gems. I can't count how many hours I have wasted just entertaining myself with the ballsiness of these people. Not to mention all the time I have spent in conversation with them for my own amusement. Though I wish I had come up with this idea I saw it first like many of you in this ted talk on replying to email spam.
One I love the most is the classic you have money you just need to send me a few grand to cover the fees. But the reason I love this one some much right now is the addition of part 2. See maybe you like me have received a ton of these, and being the fool I am I just never took them up on it. Well, now there is a kind old lady who also got these emails. She like me Mr. Benjamin Ullrich never believed that it could have possibly happened.
But according to her, I should set my worries aside. For since she has already gone through the process she is offering to share her experience. I am assured that not only will it save me time but also a hefty chunk of the “fees they made up”. She informs me that I don't have to deal with that scammer fraudster and I should trust her because as a sweet old lady, she is would never cheat me.
The genius of pulling on the old scam emails and calling them out as a fraud is just so damn smart I wish I was part of the high roller life of scamming for a couple hundred bucks at a time. But really, I do feel bad for all the people that fall for these plays every day. Many of these emails now include a list of names the people or companies may be going under. I can see it now. Send 3 attempts to steal the money outright. Then another 3 attempts to convince them your first 3 emails were a scam and now the correct people had got in touch.
My absolute favorite is anti-scam service. Now just like every other email, I get they have my name and sometimes other personal info. But these start off in the Most wonderful way. “Ben beware of the new scam going around” “Ben Ullrich, act quickly before you get scammed” of course these are not genuine offers. You probably have some too just check your mail junk folder. If you don’t just take a look at the link above.
Anyway, these offers go on to “warn” me of the dangers of a new and improved scam on the internet. The oldest methods of these offer solutions via a downloadable app for your phone or computer. Of course, once you actually go about downloading and installing this software it does unmentionable things to your computing devices. To be fair though, they do offer a serious service of protecting you from any further scams. As it is damn hard to make money off someone if someone else already stole it.
Many of the new ones go on by selling an anti-scam service that will “consult” you on the inner workings of how not to open emails that are in your junk folder. My favorite of these recommended that you log in right away using their special “protected” link to move your money right away. Don't fall for these simple tricks.
The last one I wish to go over is the mule scheme. So the crazy thing about these scams is you can actually earn money. By being the bank account for which someone else gets scammed. Rather than starting their own bank accounts just to get caught or to have them shut down, they do 2 main things.
First, they steal or buy them. It's not hard, most of you still use the same password on every website. They can either go through the footwork themselves or simply buy accounts online from any number of black markets.
The second way is what I mentioned above. They actually send you money from a different scam or laundering scheme. You get a wire, you keep 50-20% and send the rest to them. You keep doing this because gosh it's free money. Right up till your bank account gets frozen and you have the FBI at your door. Yes, you can make money. But if you can't pay the money back or disappear quickly you will go to jail. As stolen money is stolen money regardless of if you know its stolen.
If you do want to get into the game please be very careful. Kindly never send money. If you do want to tip me I only accept MoneyGram. Remember the Fake bureau of nonsense thinks that anything you heard previously about this situation is a scam so you should only trust me.
