Nigerian scammers get taken themselves! A fraud within a fraud
Thursday, February 23, 2012 12:53 PM

Someone FINALLY stuck it to those Nigerian scammers!!! (and then she gets busted)  http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/australian-woman-turns-tables-nigerian-scammers-175755518.html
Interestingly, Cochrane-Ramsey is not the first person to turn the tables on Nigerian scammers. In 2008, the radio program This American Life ran a story on some anonymous pranksters who sent a Nigerian scam artist on a wild goose chase that spanned 1,400-miles into war-torn Chad for a promised cash payout at a local Western Union branch. And they convinced him to do this while carrying an anti-Muslim/pro-George W. Bush note, which stated his intention to rob the Western Union. Their entire plan was spelled out on this website, dedicated to turning the tables on Internet con artists (Warning: contains Not Safe for Work language)

The page does not want to seem to load for some reason... for me at least. Anyways, scamming is still a crime... even if your scamming a scammer. Its like stealing from a thief.  Is this the same news? http://www.smh.com.au/tec...er-20120223-1tpsd.html If so... Than she is a idiot.

I think it should be legit to scam a scammer. Its called irony, or "street justice"... but I am from Jersey, so we live by different rules then most others. It is survival of the fittest here ;)

Taking bets the Australian police confiscated the money to buy more donuts. That's the ultimate unmentioned scam of the whole thing.

The big thing is here... She still took money from the scammed people. And spent it on herself.
If she had returned the money to the people than it would be the other way around.
The point is she is just as bad as the scammed.
