Scambaiting is not just a way of having fun by manipulating scammers. (though it can be lots of fun) Thousands of people get scammed every year resulting in the loss of millions of dollars. Not only this but people can get kidnapped, injured or even killed by these types of scams. Scambaiting is away to try and limit this, as we take up as much of the scammers time and attention as possible. Attention that could be going to real victims.

The best types of scams to scambait are Advanced Fee scams and Check Cashing scams, as these particular scams involve a series of email communications between victim and scammer.
