Resources for the reverse scammer
Here's some hints for perpetrating your own reverse scam:
- Pick up a quick free web-based email address. Get them at:
- Need a phone number for your reverse scam? Check out the
Payphone Directory.
- Need a fax number? EFax will set you up with a free (!) fax number. It's free
to receive (you need their crappy ad-driven software to view the faxes), but it costs to send. You didn't need to
send a fax anyway. Received faxes go straight to your inbox.
- Tracking down an IP address? Check out an on-line nslookup
resource, or whois database.
- Get a free 30-day trial of a 1-800 voice mail number at UReach.
- Important: Once you're done annoying your scammer, try hacking his email. That is, if he wrote to you from
yahoo.com, then try logging in with his username, and guessing his password. These guys probably have lots of different
email addresses, so they may not be terribly clever with their password. Maybe it's "password" or it's the same as their
username, so they can keep it straight. The odds are slim that this will work, but if does, think of the important
intel we could gain on the scammers! You could write to his marks and warn them off. You could write to his
associates and threaten them. The possibilities are endless.
