Sucker Alert: Wattgate 381 “Audio Grade” Socket

Frank — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:23:22 +0000

Wow, there really is a sucker born every minute, but is there anyone out there stupid enough to spend $147 on a so called “Audio Grade” electrical socket?

The Wattgate 381 and claims to bring you crystal clean sound. I’m no electrician but doesn’t the quality of your sound actually come from the components inside your amplifier? WTF does electricity flow have to do with it? It’s not like this is some surge suppressor that cleans your power and makes sure that you don’t have power fluctuation. It’s a freaking socket.

I’m sure this will go perfectly with the $400 Monster Cable you bought and that $500 Denon Ethernet Cable.

If your stupid enough to buy one, you can pick it up here

Project Eagle Claw: Taking Out The Scammers

Frank — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 06:31:11 +0000

Looks like the Nigerian government is actually doing something to stop email scammers that are giving their country a bad name. Project Eagle Claw is an effort to shut down Nigerian scammers. The project has netted 18 people and shut down 800 sites.

Previously the government would use “Cyber Raids” and petitions (WTF, how do you bust someone via petition?) to deal with scammers. Now they are going full out commando style and busting people left, right, and center. They say that when they are all done up to 5000 scam emails will be offline.

Someone in Hollywood should make a kick ass action movie depicting some elite commando group that’s sent in to Nigeria to take out these scammers.

Scammer Gets Scammed

I too soon will get my share of the inheritance from the former Minister of Defense’s son from Nigeria. All I have to do is transcribe a Harry Potter book by hand then I will be rich! I don’t know a person in the world who hasn’t received a 419 scam email claiming to need your help in unlocking some money that is stored away, all they need is a black cheque from you to help out and you’ll be rich.

The guy over at 419 eater have put the scam on the scammer. They got a scammer to write out, by hand, all 239 pages of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. That has got to be the best scam the scammer routine I have ever seen.

Check out 419 eater to get a full transcript of the email exchange.
