What we are doing is not revenge. In a way of speaking, we give the scammers back their own medicine, making them believe we fall for their sob stories, but trying all legal ways we can use to waste their resources and to keep them busy and away from the potential real victims.
Damaging the scammers and keeping them away from the real victims is the main goal. Exposing the scammers and the methods they use to scam people is another one. As long as the information about fake profiles used and the proof about their scamming activity is posted online, anyone searching may find it and may find help to deal with the scammer because of that.
No revenge in any actions as such, no hidden motives. And it's sure not just to have fun. Baiting involve a lot of work and it´s done with a clear mind, not with feelings. The scammers are criminals hurting people. They use stolen pictures, fake names, stolen identities. Sometime they use victims who unknowingly become accomplices in their scams. The victims are in one country, the scammer in another one and no police has jurisdiction overseas. Not to mention it is impossible to catch someone who doesn't really exist.
What we are doing is open for anyone to see in our posts - that´s the main reason for us to do what we are doing. Education about the scam is the only way to avoid becoming a victim. And any information obtained during this process is meant to be posted to save potential victims, unaware about the danger.
Help yourself by helping others - report your scammer here.Google can be your best friend;use it if you have doubts about someone met online. If someone met online only asks for money, no matter what reason, it´s 100% scam.
