hello all,

My name is Bill, and I am, among other things, a creative writing student in New York. I'm working on my first novel now but I've already started to structure my second, which will focus a lot on scamming and scambaiting.

I guess I'm here to be exposed to and learn as much as I can from you all as possible.

Thanks for having me.

Hello.
I'm Kapka from Bulgaria.
My first experience with a scammer was in december 2008. I hardly believed that he was attempting to make me fool :oops: , but - by using my common sence :roll: and :idea: doing some online research :arrow: i was able to reveal the 419-fraud.
:mad2:
From this time i'm involved into the anti-scam "battle".
Here - by my opinion - is one of the most useful places.
Thank you. :hug:

Sorry for my bad english Image

Hello All,

I was nearly scammed by a website that claims to have Mayfair self Catering apartment in London UK for 35.71 GBP, Please please if anyone comes across this site do no post any money to them, I got suspicious when none answered the phone, fortunately I never sent any money, I then googled mayfair apartment scam and I found this Scamwarners site, so I decided to join and post my story. I hope this helps.
