There really is such a thing, you know. Just look at the parade float illustrating “cliché” vs. “reality”.

Now that’s funny.

And Now for Something Completely Different

One of the noblest of time-wasting internet hobbies is known as scambaiting. Practitioners of this gentle art connect with scammers and turn the tables, forcing the scammers to waste time and resources. You can read about one such group, and even see some videos they’ve made.

The best one is the Monty Python “Dead Parrot” sketch.

At very least, head these warnings of the 419eaters:

Does somebody want to transfer millions of dollars into your account?

Does someone want you pay you to cash cheques and send them the money?

Met a new friend/penpal on a friendship/dating site who’s asking you for money?

Has a dying person contacted you wanting your help to give his money to charity?

Have you sold an item and are asked to accept a payment larger than the item amount?

IT’S A SCAM!

Don’t fall for common scams like this – fight them!
