The 419 Flash Mob is a worldwide online event against fraudulent websites - it's 48 hours of fun - it's a faker maker's nightmare: For two days, people from around the world raise awareness of fraud by focusing on a select group of fraudulent websites.
Since December 2003 fifteen Flash Mobs have run. Read more about Flash Mob History.
