Du kommst grad wieder mal auf Zorg, um zu schauen, was so lĂ€uft, hast aber nicht unbedingt dĂ€ Zyt, bis zur nĂ€chsten Pause oder Mahlzeit unproduktiv aber genĂŒsslich im Netz zu verweilen? Dann lies nicht weiter.
Es ist ein Traumbeispiel der Vollendung einer neuen Cybersportart, dem Scambaiting, vollbracht vom King, von Shiver Metimbers, dem Webmaster von 419eater.com. Auch Du wurdest mit grosser Wahrscheinlichkeit schon von einem Scammer auserwÀhlt, um das ganz grosse Geld zu machen.
Der Scammer verspricht uns z.B. eine nicht unbedeutende Beteiligung am Erbe seines kinderlosen Onkels, welches nicht weniger als 25.5 Millionen US$ betrÀgt. Unter uns gesagt will er uns aber abzocken, weil er meint, wir fielen im 3. Jahrtausend noch immer auf so einen Bullshit rein, und verlangt erst 2000 US$ von uns, als Vertrauensbeweis o.À.
Die Unerschrockenen unter uns gehen nun auf die Deals ein, mit dem einzigen Ziel, dem Scammer seine kostbare Zeit zu rauben und ihn nach allen Regeln der Kunst zu verarschen.
419eater.com meint dazu:
It doesn't matter if you are new to this 'sport' or a hardened veteran; if you're wasting the time of a scammer, or frustrating them in any way, well that's good enough for us!
So what is scambaiting? Well, put simply, you enter into a dialogue with scammers, simply to waste their precious time and resources. Maybe if you are VERY lucky you'll scam them out of some cash!
Even if you are a 'newbie' much fun can be had. If you are new to this game and need to know what scambaiting is all about, please click on the What is 419? button to the left of this screen. See also Baiting Tips for information on getting started on this great cyber-sport.
Nachfolgend das erste von vielen Mails von Stev Ebe, einem handelsĂŒblichen Scammer, das vielleicht auch Du erhalten hast (kannst ja mal in Deinem Spamordner greppen, sofern Du einen hast und den nicht leerst oder so), und die Antwort von "Mr. Plunder Myknuts" aka Shiver Metimbers.

I write you after proper consideration that a telephone conversation may
not be an ideal medium to contact you.
A friend of mine who works with the chamber of commerce here in Abuja- Nigeria
extended your recommendation to me. Although i did not make known to him
the purpose of my inquiry.
To be precise, I am Stev Ebe and i have come to inherit a substantial amount
of money (US$25,500,000.00) (Twenty- five million, five hundred thousand
U.S dollars) from my uncle who never had a child and whose only wife died
several years back. I intend to invest this money with you or in your company.
My uncle was the director of solid minerals department, Federal Ministry
of Mines. He died after a ghastly motor accident while returning from a
meeting in Kenema town on june 22, 1999. I was by his bedside when he gave
up the ghost and he disclosed to me secret codes and documents, which he
used in depositing the said money with a security company in Accra, Ghana.
He also advised that i should seek the advise of a foreign partner to invest
the money abroad for better returns.
My purpose of reaching out to you is to seek your assistance on how to move
this money and invest it in any viable partnership business venture in your
country or any other country of your choice. You will be required to come
down to Ghana for a meeting to enable you see things for yourself and also
open a domiciliary account in your name through which the remittance will
be facilitated. We will also draft an agreement and consider investment
proposals/options. I shall gratify you with a negotiable 10% in cash of
the total amount after the money is successfully transferred to your account.
I will take 20% for myself as i intend to buy a home overseas and also improve
my/family standard of living. The remaining 70% or thereabout will be used
to invest in a viable joint business venture as will be advised by you.
Kindly reply without delay on the e-mail address within and let me know
your opinion on this matter. But if this proposal does not appeal to you,
please keep it secret and reply accordingly.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
STEV EBE.

From: Mr. Plunder Myknuts
To: Steve Ebe
Dear Mr. Ebe,
Thank you for your email, and I feel sorry for your plight. I may be able to help you but first I must be 100% assured of your honesty and identity. I am a multimillionaire businessman. I own my own IT (Information Technology) company, and I NEVER enter into any business deal without cast iron security and confidence in my partners. If you are able to prove your identity and honesty to me in a 100% reliable way then I will be happy to help you.
Unfortunately sir, we may have a problem. The way I like to have proof of identity of my business partners is to meet with them. Unfortunately this will be impossible for the next couple of weeks as I have urgent business that needs attending to. I am in delicate negotiations to buy a Tribble factory in Singapore, and so flying out to meet with you is not an option at the moment.
I am afraid a passport or personal ID will not be suitable as I know that such things are easily forged. Here is my suggestion that could lead to a quick and profitable solution. Would you agree to have your picture taken holding my company logo? If you are able to send me a photograph of yourself holding my company logo then this would be irrefutable proof that the person in the photograph is you.
Please signal your agreement to this proposition and I will forward the relevant logo/information to you.
Mr. Plunder Myknuts

"We don't just take IT to the top - We take IT up the arse."
Und so nahm die Geschichte ihren Lauf. Der Scammer musste Bilder von sich als IdentitÀtsbeweis schicken, zwischendurch "starb" Mr. Plunder mal und der Scammer redete von da an "mit seiner SekretÀrin", und dann schaffte es der Scambaiter sogar, dem Scammer 20 Dollar abzuzocken! Nach vollen 4 Monaten Verarschung klÀrte er ihn dann auf...
Hahahaha, vorallem denn wenn de herr stirbt und s sekretĂ€rin ĂŒbernimmt:
"As I write I am in tears and I am very wet" - chan mir öppert erklÀre wiso das si noch em "tot" vo ihrem chef "very wet" isch??
muahaha, ich lach mir nen schranz.
anagramme werden sowieso voellig ueberbewertet... das ist "verschluesselung" fuer irgendwelche haense, die das gefuehl haben, damit seien sie jetzt mega krass.
frueher seien sie ja u.a. mal dazu verwendet worden, um "urheberrechte" zu schuetzen: man formulierte einen satz, z.b. "moettler ist eine elendiger spast", machte daraus ein anagram (d.h. mischen der buchstaben) und konnte nachher "beweisen", dass man das schon vor langer zeit gesagt habe. ist allerdings auch ein mist, weil mit genug wuestheit kann man sich sicherlich zu irgendeinem anagram einen sinnvollen satz basteln.
Der resultierende Satz hat 8 Wörter, welche sich aus wild durcheinandergewĂŒrfelten buchstaben aus verschiedenen worten zusammensetzen. also nicht 1 wort im quellsatz = 1 wort im zielsatz.
