Aussie woman scams the Nigerian scam artists
I say she gets off and keeps the money
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...6pLid%3D138193 How does it feel when the tables are turned? The Courier Mail in Australia reports that Sarah Jane Cochrane-Ramsey pleaded guilty last Thursday to one count of aggravated fraud for scamming Nigerian con artists out of $33,000. Cochrane-Ramsey opened an Australian bank account that the Nigerians could use to funnel payments they got through their "dodgy account on a popular car sales website," according to the Courier Mail. The terms of her arrangement with the con artists said that Cochrane-Ramsey was supposed to keep eight percent of all monies sent to the account, with the rest going back to the Nigerians. Instead, she kept the money for herself. Slate points out that Cochrane-Ramsey denied knowing she was working for fraudsters, thereby "denying herself the defense that she was somehow attempting to give her fellow scammers a taste of their own medicine." Nigeria's The Nation notes that Cochrane-Ramsey is not the first person to con Nigerian scofflaws. In fact, "This American Life" produced a story in 2008 on a group of people who made a Nigerian scammer travel 1,400 miles in search of a promised cash reward. Photo by Flickr user B Rosen.

baiting scam artists was recently talked about ont his forum and one guy mentioned a website called "419 eater.com" ,i went and had a look and its loaded with letters of correspondence with these nigerian fraudsters and alleged russian brides. the stories start out a bit dry as the scam artist is slowly reeled in to the trap but some of the things people get these scumbags to do is truly amazing.one common trap is to convince the fraudsters they are coming over to meet with them bringing money but they want to be met at the airport with a rep holding a sign for them,then give there name as something like mr e rection and to send back a pic of the designated representative holding a sign with his name on it . go to the website and have a look at the pic gallery , i was in tears for hours looking at this site

Good for her. Too bad someone can't scam them right out of buisness.
