General discussion / scamming the Nigerian advance-fee scammers

« on: August 10, 2014, 05:20:34 pm »

Anyone had any luck scamming the Nigerian advance-fee scammers?

There's a type of Nigerian scam where you 'receive' payments for them. Of course, they're all forged checks and whatnot that will bounce or be returned as NSF after a period of time.

What the normal slant is for the scammers is that you deposit the payments. And then send them money (minus your 'salary' or 'commission') via western union. Repeat until one of the payments bounces or you get in trouble with the law for depositing forged checks.

So - I'm trying to figure out an angle where 1) I get to keep the money (or part of it) and 2) I don't go to jail.

I know - stupid... but it's just a thought-experiment.

General discussion / looking for work - small jobs etc

Couldn't quite figure out where to put this or if it's even acceptable...

I'm looking for a little work online - I need to get my car inspected (my 1997 Saturn SC2 I bought with my tax return money in February) so I can go back to work doing staffing stuff (usually customer service rep at an office). My brother was kind enough to buy me a tire this week but he can't afford to get my car inspected.

I've been trying to get things on oDesk, Freelancer and eLance but I haven't gotten much. I'm not into typing captchas.

I can help with Perl and MySQL - I've done PHP before but I'm not as comfortable with it. I used to run a large wordpress site (sold it in 2013 for rent money) so I'm familiar with Wordpress as well. I've been using Linux for 20 years or so now and Unix even longer.

If you need help with clicks or CPA stuff (non VPN of course) I can lend a hand there. I'm in the USA if that's relevant. Texas.

Data entry or other things along those lines.

I have a client that I've done product reviews for on Amazon but I think I've done all I can do for him. I would prefer to reserve Amazon for him in case he gets back to me.

I just want some work to do for a little cash (paypal or bitcoin) so I can get back to work.

And as a hint to those younger than me - get your degree. Certs wouldn't hurt either.

Just saw a link on Hacker News that pointed to this - thought I would share:
