Just watched an episode of MSNBC where they were doing a story on the internet scams everyone sees so often. They really took those guys for a ride, convincing them to finally meet in person, and on hidden camera. After stringing the cons along waiting on the money they needed to "release the funds", mainly just as a joke and a little retrubution for those that had been scammed from what I gathered, they finally told the guys that they were actually the ones being scammed. It was funny, the guy doing the show was using names like Peter Dimonie ("De money"), and the best one I thought, "Rich Greenbacks". You"d think a con would catch onto a play on words like that, especially when everything was money related, but they didn"t.
I don"t know how many different cons they actually worked but they showed 4, that I saw,on the show. Just goes to show how gullible the cons can be when they think their dealing with a idiot and are expecting a big payday themselves. it was a hoot watching them set there and sweat when they were told they were the ones being scammed..... Unfortunately since it was TV and not law enforcment they had to let the guys go but it was still nice to see them get at least a little payback for their cons.
