Random sites of interest from my journies on the web last week.

419 Scammer Gets Arrested: In Canada no less. Toluwalade Alonge Owolabi, of Toronto, inundated an 84 year old man with emails and telephone calls to wire 37,500 dollars and receive a 1.5 million “inheritance”. Nice to see some of these scammers getting caught. If you want a flavour for actual letters from scammers then check out theScamBaiter. Some of the email exchanges, like this one, are highly entertaining. Hard to believe that people fall for such scams. But they do.
