- maxklein 18y agoAnd here is the corresponding music video where they speak about the 'business'. "Yahoozee" refers to the scam business. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ1YLL9mvBU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ1YLL9mvBU
- josefresco 18y agoMany of these scams involve lonely Americans who are convinced to ship the stolen products overseas after they are purchased and shipped with stolen card numbers. These Nigerians are targeting the lonely, dumb and Internet connected in American and using them to steal everyone's money. Comforting.
- binarycheese 18y agoYou'll be surprised by the kind of people scammed up in this mess ... preachers, accountants, soccer moms etc..
- dzorz 18y agoMy favourite 419 eater story: http://www.419eater.com/html/john_boko.htm http://www.419eater.com/html/john_boko.htm You don't have to read it (although it is hilarious), just check the pictures :-)
- pmjordan 18y agoI actually received a 419 scam in the post the other day; it was sent from the UK. I thought 419ers had entirely switched to the internet, but apparently not. I don't know how they got my address though, I can only assume it's because of my business being listed in the public directory.
