Hello everybody, you can call me Leir,

So this all started when I googled about advance fee scams and, somehow, 419 eater showed up. Looking a bit on how active this forum is and how e-mail scams are still a thing – matter of fact, the most popular scam attack, according to Trend Micro, as it still hoards tons of victims.

Then I thought to myself, “well, some stories here are really interesting, why don't I try to have one for myself?”. And that's how I ended up here. A tech writer looking for the next best thing gonzo journalism can do without leaving home in the middle of a pandemic.

Nice to meet you, guys!

Hi folks.

Since this is the forum's reboot, I tried to re-create my original character in here.

For obvious reasons, no real data about me are present here; those willing can contact me for messengers' accounts, if/when necessary (the accounts are also pseudonymous, of course).

Let move on with the show, let scambaiting be going on.

Hello, folks.

Not a new member, but a returning one. Some of you might remember some of my previous adventures some years ago, getting lads to record audio books of A Game of Ice & Fire, or the foul-mouthed Father Bilbo.

My real life job was due to resume a few weeks ago, but has been pushed back til later in the year. So it's a perfect time for me to get back at this. I'm hungry for book 3 in the series of ASOIAF.

Time to do some serious reading and see what's changed in the baiting world over the last while!

Hello everyone!

During the COVID pandemic I got laid off. This left me scrambling to get a job. So I started applying to jobs on forums like Indeed, ZipRecruiter and Glassdoor. In a normal circumstance I would at least research the company and go to a website to see if I even wanted to work there, but due to the circumstances and with rent coming up, I was just reading the job title and applying.

Sure enough, I started getting some scam calls. These guys would ask me for my "full legal name", and ask for a copy of my resume. They would tell me they had a job for me, get me to send them my resume and then hang up. They were scamming me while I was down and incredibly desperate for money.

Which brings me here. I'm going to get these guys back by posting back on these same job forums, only now with different intentions!

Welcome Budzman,

Glad you realised you were being scammed.

Just a heads up: on this forum we deal with advance fee fraud (AFF), not with other types of fraud. Most times, the 'job site scams' involve the scammers 'hiring' a victim to do some kind of a job which involves receiving money from others and forwarding it to the scammers, keeping a %% of the money received. Someone doing that is called a "Mule".

While I agree that the scammers who target people in a vulnerable position (out of work) need to be taken care of, this is not the type of scam we deal with here.


However, you are more than welcome to stick around and participate in our AFF ventures. Grab yourself a lad (that's what we call the scammers) and have some fun!!

Hello folks

I'm new here. I'm not really seeking to become a baiter, as I realize this will take a lot of my time
I just wanted to report a scam, and, well, I've skimmed through this forum and found how to do that
But, well, I don't seem to be able to register on scamwarners.com
When I press "register", my browser gives me a DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error
So I figured I'd just register here and report that

Hi - I used to lurk a lot on the old forums. I had an account that I can't remember for the life of me, since I mostly used it for reading.

I hope at some point the Eater University links get moved over to the new forum. Since they're on the old one, I haven't been able to read them (I don't remember my old forum login.) Other than that, I'm happy to keep lurking! :)

Hi I am new to this type of thing. I came across your website while trying to purchase a puppy online. I am really grateful that this even exist because of the couple of experiences I have had with people trying to scam me. Is this the only place that can help you with trying not to get scammed?

Hello, I just got scammed for $100, and was looking for a way to get back at them. It looks like this is the community to help do this. I have already reported this to the police, however I don't get the feeling anything is going to happen. What is my first step?

Welcome to Eater!

Sorry to hear that you have been scammed.

The best thing to do is to completely block the scammers. Do not bait them. They have your real life contact details. Stay away!

Hello! I am Munchies! This is not a name I normally go by online but I obviously don't want my scambaiting to get traced back to my normal online life.

I "finished" my first scambait already, although I wouldn't call it too epic, but I did waste a few days of a scammer's time. Stay safe!

Dear Forum,

This is my new account on the Eater. I created my first one a few years back when I was scammed by a Nigerian identity thief. My employer lost a few hundred Euros back then, and the money was never recovered. Then I found the Eater and lurked around the forums for some time, had good laughs reading the Greatest Hits. However, I didn't engage in real scambaiting back then.

I will continue my story in another thread, where I'm planning to tell about my current bait, which renewed my interest in scambaiting.

Thank you for reading this.
