Baiting Nigerian scammers for fun (not so much for profit) When your hobby is baiting 419 scammers (also known as Nigerian scammers or advance-fee fraudsters), a death threat isn't cause for concern—it's a trophy worth bragging about to your friends. Scam baiters are the vigilante enforcers who come together to waste hours, weeks, or months of 419 scammers' lives for nothing more than the satisfaction of knowing that they are distracting them from real victims. Though the world of 419 scams has existed since long before the Internet, people continue to fall for scammers in droves—certainly, scammers are making millions of dollars every year by promising money, goods, and romance that they never deliver on. But when you hear stories like this, it makes you wonder. Why would you want to start baiting scammers?

Who are these people? We're going on a surfin' safari

How do you meet people? How do you make friends? As usual, there are complications inside. Last summer I moved to Milwaukee to live with my then-fiance. Now that the wedding is over and I have more free time, I'm starting to realize how alone I really am here. My closest friends live an hour away, and I don't have many acquaintances in the city. Here's the thing...I live in Milwaukee, but I work at a fairly stressful job down in Illinois (I work at a high school). I want to get out, meet people, and make friends, but whenever I try I always come away frustrated.
