Why bother blacklisting all these fake sites? Because it's helpful for folks who get a little suspicious and do a little research -- a quick web search on a scam site usually hits our database! Don't just take our word for it...

Real companies are glad to know about imitators

Thank you, we really appreciate your concern and help. after two hosters shut down two phishing sites

Individuals are grateful to learn it's a scam

Your site and mission are wonderful! I received an oddball request from an ebay seller and googled their URL, only to find it had been added to your database just a few days ago. --P.H. from USA

Just to let you know that I am grateful for this site and it may have saved me money which I can ill afford to lose. --R.B. from Australia

I would like to thank you for advaetising the Welsh Trust Bank as one of the scammers on the internet. Recently I was about to lose money to them but your site saved me. Please keep up the good work. --T.M. from Kenya

I cannot thank you enough for what you are doing. Someone I know was being pulled in and I stumbled on your website to check out the bank site he was emails and it was indeed a fake bank site. Thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! --D.W. from USA

Just a few words to say thank you. I had been contacted by a certain Joseph from Rinaldi International, it was clear to me that what he was proposing was illegal, but after reading the name Rinaldi International in your database I have no more doubts. Thanks a lot for your work....well done. --M.B. from Sweden

what a great service you offer for those of us who may not be so "streetwise" --H.J. from UK

Glad we could help!

Scammers are "fans" too

After the Sixth Flash Mob, we received a bit of fan mail from what we could work out to be operators of one or more of the fake 419 banks targeted by the monthly Flash Mobs.

We really appreciate all feedback we receive, from Flash Mob participants, from victims of 419 Fraud, and even from the fake bankers. We can be contacted HERE -- let us know what you think!

The message came from somewhere in Cote d'Ivoire. We do ask for people to include their email addresses, but this one didn't -- all we can do is put their message here.

"I WILL BE SENDING ALL OF YOU PEOPLE YOURS MOTHERS ASHOLE, SO IT WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO WAITI AND SEE THIS. ANY BODY WHO DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS FIM WILL SEE MYSTICAL REACTIONS IN 7 DAYS AFETR A RAIN FALL.

This message also came with no email or additional information... be sure to let us know what fake bank you run with so we can bring it down!

"I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T STAY AWAY FROM MY BANK. THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE."

Thank you for letting us know how much you appreciate our work!

No email address left, but this fan certainly seems affected by our work...

Here's an escrow scammer quite angry after his site eutransitltd.com was taken offline... a selection of the nicer parts of his messages.

WHO ARE YOU TO SHUT DOWN MY SITE ?
COMPANY IS REGISTERED AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AS:
DELIVERING DIVERSITY LIMITED
Company No. 05096072

Actually, that is a completely unrelated company, and has nothing to do with an escrow scammer. Nice attempt to steal yet another identity!

DO YOU HAVE A PHONE NUMBER >?????
WE'LL GO TO COURT MY FRIEND YOU AND YOUR PAL HOSTING THAT ARE HAPPY WITH MY 18$ FOR HOST, YOU GET ONE CUSTOMER AND SHUT DOWN, INSTANT.
THE ONLY THING IS THAT I PAID A GUY TO MAKE THE SITE, WICH INDEED IS LIKE OTHER THE FAX NUMBER WAS NOT EVEN MINE, WE HAVE ONLY PHONES.
MAY I KNOW WHO YOU ARE ? PHONE AND BUSINESS ADDRESS ?
WHO ARE YOU TO ASK ME ? AND WHY I'M FORCED TO GIVE YOU ALL INFO ?
YOU WILL HEAR FROM ME, I FIGURED OUT YOU ARE THE SAME WITH [HOSTER]

Nope, we're not related at all, but thanks for guessing.

I never copied anything, I paid a kid to make the site 50 pounds.Why you care about ebay , you never gave me your registered business address and tel numbers so i can contact you
Are they secrets ?
All those lies will end soon
I asked you in 3 emails 3 -4 questions, you were unable to answer...wonder why .. ?
Only thing could be that you are from malaysia ...and you were my host.. that would explain lots to me....$18..for that much
Why don't we have a phone talk ? Are you afraid ?
You can run dude.....I'm behind
watch out..ripper

We're not afraid -- we're just laughing to hard to pick up the phone.
