apparently they bust some scammers

saw on the news tonite some aussie guy tearing up coz he lost all his cash, his house and his business's

i cant believe people fall for this s***, and as cruel as it is, i sort of think if you are that greedy, that you think you can get something for nothing, u probably deserve to lose everything

i am genuinely surprised that these scams actually originate in nigeria though, really, ud think they would come from more developed countries

^ I'll watch it...

My favourite ever conversation with a scammer (from www.419eater.com) - "Tragedy strikes just as I am about to make a $127,250 Western Union payment to Mr. Martins!" :

also at 8.30 on 2 a doco about busting the unions in the 1998 Patrick dispute - Bastard Boys.

edit: actually it looks more like a drama thingy.

i will be watching on to cheer on the unions standing up against big business and taking care of the aussie battler

waiting for john howard to step up and smack those c***s back down with AWAs

god, what an idiot :(
already broke, and told he was being defrauded and he kept sending money

also, 60 minutes is appauling television, i feel dumber for having watched it (briefly)

im now going to watch much less crap television (bb)

The scamming special was good.

I loved the look on their faces when the ACA guy walks into the room & says 'Hello my friend...'.

Thanks for the heads-up Spook.

ok hottie alert on 60 minutes right now.

newsflash: teenage girl culture in australia, includes plenty of promiscuous sex!!

Taking care of the aussie battler? not really, they'll only really take care of you if your a paying union member, dont get me wrong, the principle behind the union is good, division of power is good, but the union seeks total control for their own gain, and what they usually end up doing is chasing off big business which means no jobs for anyone in the end. I've seen the amwu in full control before, believe me its the gayest s*** you'll ever see.

yer, we covered unions really in the other thread

i was just trying to get up infi's nose

'those' c***s.

you.

speaking about howard smaq downs with awa's.

nice little backflip the other day. proclaiming that anyone on less then 75k won't be worse off under an awa. howard the coward backflipping at its finest.

a year ago he was all for 17 year old getting f***ed over.

no you

also on 60 mins.. that ship wrecking yard was amazing

honestly if your falling for this s***, you deserve to lose your money.

f***ING RETARDS

i will be watching on to cheer on the unions standing up against big business and taking care of the aussie battler

ud think they would come from more developed countries

Why? People in underdeveloped countries would be more desperate for money thus would think of more ideas for gaining it.

Idiots get scammed. End of story.

i just laughed and laughed at that scam story. did you know they took "gullible" out of the dictionary?

And now it's all over the radio this morning on the drive into work with Nova going as far as claiming QLD'ers get ripped $500k a month in this scam.

I'm more concerned with how stupid people that fall victim to these scams have this sort of cash!?!@?

what surprised me was how non-violent they all seemed. They were all really quiet etc. Even the guy who had been in prison for murder.

I enjoyed watching criminals getting slapped about. Allow it here I say

I've never religiously watched 60 minutes, but this is surely just repackaged, glorified ACA or TT fodder? I mean email spam scammers are nothing new, I thought 60 minutes supposedly was competitive in the investigative journalism space, ala 4 corners?
