    Check this out, I guess

    some people have more time on their hands than I do. Have a look at the Links page, this is a cottage industry with

    no pay. There's even a discussion forum which is quite active.

    Its hilarious though, read some of the "baits",

    and have a look at the "Trophy Room" and "Hall of Shame". Read a little around the site before looking at the pics

    to understand them better, and you'll bust a gut, esp in the Trophy

    Room!

    I haven't had this much fun since listening to the "Tom

    Mabe" bit on youtube.

    The internet is a wonderful

    thing.

    You're right Jim, and these

    guys even have a philosophy of sorts. The more of the scammer's time and resources they tie up, the less time for

    scamming innocent people.

    It sounds like a lot of fun if

    you have the free time to deal with it. And it does serve a social purpose.
    To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

    Hey, freedom is a two way

    street. If they feel free to try and scam us, we can feel free to mess with them back.

    For me, it wouldn't be

    the best use of time to spend it tussling with scumbags, but I fully support those who want to express their

    displeasure in this way.

    It certainly can be funny, and if you can turn something horrible into something

    amusing you've accomplished something.

    Gotta love it. That really was priceless. I admit I have a little fetish for pranks. Strange thing is

    I used to be a telemarketer of sorts when I sold investments. So it's strange I have so little sympathy for

    them.

    If you like this kind of stuff, check out Roy D. Mercer on youtube.

    He plays a redneck when

    he pranks, and fairly brilliantly. For some reason he gets me laughing to the point of pain.
