419eater.com

419eater.com is scam baiting website which focuses on advanced fee fraud. The website was created by Mike, known by the name of Shiver Metimbers. The 419 Eater forum has over 17 thousand registered accounts.

The website chronicles various reverse scams with email threads and commentary by the participants. The site hosts photographs of individuals reported to be scammers in silly poses or holding humorous signs, such as "I recommend 419eater".

In some cases, the scambaiters claims to have gotten the scammers to send them money with a ploy similar to the original flim flam. According to the website, the proceeds of such reverse scams was given to a local charity. However, the moderators of the site, as well as an overwhelming majority of the members, have taken a stand against so-called cash baiting or its discussion on 419eater.

The 419eater community also engages in the activity of identifying and removing fake banks and other websites created by the scammers from the internet. It does this in cooperation with Artists Against 419 who host a large, publicly accessible database of fake banks.
