Flash Mob
Worldwide Flash Mob! The World is laughing at Fraudulent Sites!
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 targeting a select group of fraudulent websites.
Since December 2003 fourteen Flash Mobs have run. We succeeded in shutting down over 130 fake banks! Read more about Flash Mob History. Some web hosting companies don't care about individual complaints about fake websites -- so we send them many complaints on one day. It's hard to claim you're unaware of illegal activity on your servers if you've gotten hundreds of abuse complaints!
The criminals have made millions with these fraud sites in the past. We want them kicked off the internet before they're able to convince new victims that they're a legitimate. We want to help hosters realize they can be proactive about the content they allow on their servers.
It's time that we made our voices heard!
