I have this African scammer she/he claims to love me as no other and wants to come to me from Africa "where she just happens to be visiting her mum" in the course of our chat she asked me for my yahoo user name and password, I gave her bogus info and asked for hers in return. she claimed she wanted to see who I was writing so she could see if I was true in wanting only her.
well she gave me the proper user name and password"really stupid move".
so I log onto her yahoo and find she is indeed scamming lots of people using on-line dating services and face book/my space.
the scams range from the one she is using on me "send me money so I can come to you" to her mum is dying and needs medicine she is getting evicted etc.

having a list of the people she is scamming makes me feel kinda obligated to do something about it.
I feel like copying and pasting all of her nefarious emails to a single one and sending it to everybody in her address book as well as the FBI and Nigerian authorities.
but in a way I am hacking her acct.

my question is this, am I justified doing something about this? as she did give me the user name and password to her acct or should I just drop it and ignore the beaoutch/bastard.

Send a threatening letter to her local police station from her account. They'll take care of her. :p

Not worth your time, anyone who falls for it is remarkably stupid and if you 'save' them they'll just fall for the next nigerian prince email anyway.

If you want to be on tv it looks like Chris Hansen from Dateline is tired of dealing with pantless men and have moved on to African scammers. Give him a try.

I would have just deleted all the emails messages, removed all addresses from address book, IM etc. Let her start from Scratch...

I guess i'm different than all of you. I'd create a form letter about how the scams work and send it to everyone she was messaging.

I don't think people deserve to get ripped off just because they aren't as sophisticated as me. Interpol also wouldn't involve themselves in this, so the fact that you aren't interpol is a good thing.

Heh, I love meeting people like that, I like playing with them :evil:!

Last one I had was someone whose mom was sick and she needed money for the operations or her mom would die :p.

I found giant list of bank routing numbers and cc numbers in her drafts folder, what can I do to get this scammer put away?

Does it appear this person has a boss? Tell him that you (the scammer) ratted him out to the cops for some sort of reduced sentence or something.

Probably not much if they are in a foreign country. You could delete all the bank numbers and CC numbers from the person's email account to possibly protect the stupid people that sent them.

You also could have just changed their password... ha ha ha ... that would have been so funny locking them out.

WITF would anyone exchange passwords to their IM accounts? That's bizzare... Well kudos on turning them in. Heck send the username and password to the FBI and any other major gov't police depts. They'd be happy to have it...

I'd go ahead & delete all the information from "her" account. then logout & forget it ... you'll have done everything you can at that point.

already did that I have also gone to 4-5 dating sites and "updated" her profile to be a little more acurate. and then locked her out of those too.

I have gotten a couple of emails from guys and they are all at first weary then the get it and become happy.
it is a real hoot :evil:
