Sorry, I don't understand this - what is wrong with this list?

[WaldoMcFroog]

There's virtually no point in listing the email address of fraudsters. They use fake accounts and don't care if one gets blocked or blacklisted. They rely on getting one sucker for every thousand (or ten thousand or million; the actual number is not particluarly important) emails they send out.

The important thing is to recognise what a phishing con looks like and then bin it and delete it as soon as possible (or even better, have something like Mailwasher in place, so it never hits your inbox and blacklists the addy and reports it to SpamCop).

Essentially: If someone you don't know offers you money for nothing, it's a con.

I get them all the time! most usually the widow of some political guy who was murdered by the government in africa and they were in receipt of millions of dollars and need my bank account to transfer the funds and if they can use it i will get 20% of the profits!

God i could be so rich if i'd just let them all use my bank account...!!

Complete ********!

Can someone tell me what is wrong with this list - it looks like a legitimate website - how do we know it isn't?

Check out www.419eater.com for lots of information on these scumbags, and the fun that can be had at their expense! I have been 'baiting' scammers for about two years now, and its amazing what you can get them to do if they think they are ultimately going to get their hands on your money!

I once received an email from a woman who offered me �5,000 for my advertised �200 car. She offered me extra for cashing her western union money order.

I told her to fek off.

Anyone???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

spinchimp - not really sure what you are not understanding but it is a legitimate website, but they have set up a page for their readers to add scammers stories and list email addresses as a warning.

some use the same addresses numerous time so by adding them, others can check whether their purchase offers are genuine

[spinchimp]

Ah - you mean this page:
http://www.britisharts.co.uk/fraud_gripes.htm

Its a different link from the one you posted. The original page has loads of email addresses on it, and I thought you were impling that they were scammers. I didn't notice the link to the page I posted on the sidebar on the page you posted.

[joko]

the link i gave takes you to the exact page, just tried it.
it is also an exact copy and paste from the top bar when i was on that page - not sure why i doesn't work for you

your link works too though...mmm strange
