Since I wrote my book on hackers and scammers, I’ve been toying with financial scammers (“DEAR SIR MANY GODS BLESSINGS”) and watching the responses. I just had an interesting, and very scary exchange with a Nigerian scammer who sent me 2 working (?) credit card numbers after ordering 6 Dell Laptops (?) from me (?). I hope that Belinda Metcalfe has nipped this issue in the bud, and if she hasn’t she’s in for a surprise if someone takes this guy up on his offer.
Read the entire exchange after the jump.
