'I like their honesty. They're not afraid to come out and say "Hey, we peddle buttlove!"' by Kara

I have a new true love.

It's a website called 419eater.com.

You know how some people will go out of their way to screw with those Nigerian scammers? These kids have made it an art form.

They've learned just how far these arseholes will go for their money ... and make them go that far. For example, in the name of positive ID demanded by their 'unwitting victim,' they will hold up signs with just about anything written on them as 'passwords' (NB: some rather colourful language featured on some of these).

It gets better. Some 419eaters have actually turned it around and scammed the scammers into thinking they're everything from film colleges to out-of-work stuntmen, thus convincing them to send in videos in order to get jobs or scholarships.

Note that I do not condone getting involved, as it takes skill to know how to get that far in negotiations without compromising your privacy. But these guys have it ... so watch them. I promise you, you will waste so much time reading this site that by tomorrow you'll hate me for linking it.

If you have been, eat it.
