As some of you old timers may remember, a hobby of mine is scam baiting. What is scam baiting you ask? Well, you know those emails you get from Nigerian princes who desperately need your help moving funds out of the country? I respond to those under a phony email account and act like I am interested. I have lost track of the number of bank accounts I have obtained over the years, all of which I have got shut down via contacts I have on a scam baiting message board. One of my favorite characters to use is Feathers McGraw. Feathers is a member of the notorious Snorky Boys gang, and when it comes time to make a payment Feathers swoops in (pun intended) and steals the money. It drives the lads insane. I've been baiting a "hitlad" for many months now, and he has provided many chuckles. A "hitlad" is a scammer who sends out an email saying that he has been paid to kill you, but after watching you for a few days he has determined that you are innocent, and for a fee (usually 5-10k) he will not kill you and will provide you the name of the person who put out the contract on your life. Hitlads usually have a pretty short shelf life, as they tend to be rather lazy and unimaginative. Not this one. There are a number of us on 419eater.com who have been baiting this lad for many months now, and he actually provided one baiter a reading of Game of Thrones. 36 hours worth. Of course, all of his payments have been chopped by Feathers, and he is not too happy about this. Here was his last email to Feathers
A few things - PIGGIES refers to a game that an associate of Feathers, one Mr. Bingo, likes to play. In this game Mr. Bingo ties his victim to a chair, takes off the victims shoes and socks, and starts in on the toes with "This little piggie went to market, this little piggie stayed home, this little piggie".... and so on. When he gets to the last toe he goes "This little piggie went wee weee weee all the way home" and slices off the toe. Feathers has told the hitlad that Mr. Bingo is going to play piggies with him. Also, the lad says he is heading to Togo as he got an email from another baiter saying that a phone was found in the restroom of a Togo bar and the person that found the phone is using the email contacts on the phone to try and find the rightful owner. Feathers has mentioned to the lad that the phone contains all the Snorky Boys bank information, and if someone found it they could clean out all of the Snorky Boys bank accounts.
To date Feathers has stolen upwards of $300,000 from this lad, so obviously the lad is angry. Feathers told him that he and Mr. Bingo were in Lagos looking for him to play piggies with, but I had to tell him that Feathers and Mr. Bingo had left, as I was concerned that he was getting too paranoid and would end up hurting an innocent person. Feathers gets death threats all the time, but this was the best I ever received and thought it was worth sharing.
