Today I was driving in my car, and listening to an NPR program called “This American Life”. They had a very interesting story about a scam that was run on an Internet scammer. Actually, it was justice served. I do not feel guilty for enjoying the story. It is unfortunate however, that the scammer did not seem to learn anything because he went right back to Internet scamming when he got back to Nigeria. Click on the links below to read about it.

I have a friend that was scammed during one of the most difficult times of her life, and hearing this story made me feel like perhaps there is some justice in this world. Internet scammers take advantage of desperate people. They hurt people that are vulnerable and good, and they do not care about the consequences.

Thanks for sharing this story. I hate scammers. After what happened to our friend I have no sympathy for them whatsoever…
