The Nigerian boys are raising their game. This is the fist time I've had a 419 scam by PM (on another forum). If they've learnt to sign up to forums, what's next? Setting up their own sites? :)

> The Nigerian boys

Careful, please. Or you might tempt someone to mention nations with (many) more WebmasterWorld members than Nigeria in a disrespectful way. Remember that WebmasterWorld is supposed to be international and multi-cultural.

Don't rile the Denmark Boys - they'll choke you with some Legos.

Yup, and remember that the guy who gave name to PageRank is a Lego fan.

Yes, I did report him and got him thrown off.

I hope the Indonesian creditcard fraudsters realise that the competition is hotting up. :)

I had no idea this scam even existed... talk about living in a dark corner, lol Sounds pretty serious by what the U.S. Secret Service has posted on their website.

Hee hee ..the best bit about that fake "Nigerian Uni" site is the real adsense box on the botton serving "context related scam come ons" ...surely "G" are "aiding and abetting" when they do this ...;)

added..got to admit tho .."the ads".. they are incredibly well "targetted " ..the Serps might be wiggy as all hell ..but adsense is laser precise...shows who's priorities are where these days

but adsense is laser precise...shows who's priorities are where these days

and ya gotta realise that to be a genuine adsense ad, that the site was accepted as an adsense publisher

so wheres the Quality Control?

There's nothing wrong with the quality of that site. It's superb.

Sure the site is Kewt ..but did you see where those adsense ads go ..so is anyone at the helm of the inspection team for accepting ads ..or would cynical me be right in thinking that aslong as it's not pron ..your in ...

Like the amount of ads ( in adsense )showing up for self declared as such warez versions of graphics progs ..all over the sites that offer tutorials on same ..

Maybe they outsourced adsense and adwords policy control to Lagos or Jakarta .
