Synopsis
The hilarious true story of an everyday guy who took on the Nigerian Internet spamming industry one email at a time., "Dear Sir: I must solicit your confidences in this transaction. I am high placed official with the Department of Finance Affairs in Lagos, Nigeria. I and two other colleagues are in need of a silent foreign partner whose bank account we can use to transfer the sum of $18,000,000. This are monies left by a barrister who died tragically in a plane crash last year..." Millions of Americans receive this email or something like it every day--sometimes multiple times a day. This is a typical email sent by African internet con-artists to "mugus" (an expression used describe the gullible Americans they swindle out of an estimated $2 billion dollars a year). But when they started spamming Steve Graham they got more than they bargained for--Graham got fed up deleting mugu mail, but he harnessed his frustration and turned it into a truly funny personal campaign to scam the scammers and spam the spammers. Armed with a relentless sense of humor and a bottomless pit of patience, Graham quickly turned the tables on his tormentors--with side-splittingly hilarious results. Whether he's referring to his fictional lawyer Biff Wellington, complaining about the injury he received while milking a lactating sloth, or offering the Preparation-H helpline as his phone number, Graham--using aliases such as Wile E. Coyote, Barney Rubble, and Hermann Munster--offers proof that spamming well is the best revenge., When Graham received one too many scam e-mails, he harnessed his frustration and turned it into a truly funny personal campaign to scam the scammers and spam the spammers. Armed with a relentless sense of humor, Graham quickly turned the tables on his tormentors., Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2005 18:38:09 +0000 (GMT) Subject: CONFIDENTIAL. . . To: honbarrsedd4za@yahoo.co.in PROPOSAL FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE Dear Sir: I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. I am a high placed official with the Department of Finance Affairs in Lagos, Nigeria. I and two other colleagues are in need of a silent foreign partner whose bank account we can use to transfer the sum of $18,000,000. This are monies left by a barrister who died tragically in a plane crash last year. . . Sound familiar? Congratulations. You have been selected to become a mugu, an expression African con artists use to describe the targets of their e-mail scams. But they drew a bead on the wrong guy when they started spamming Steve H. Graham. Like many Internet users, Graham eventually got tired of receiving mugu mail and decided to fire back at his wannabe swindlers. Armed with a scathing sense of humor, Graham quickly turned the tables on his tormenters--with side-splittingly hilarious results. Whether he's referring to his fictional lawyer Biff Wellington, complaining about the injury he received while milking a lactating sloth, or offering the Preparation H helpline as his phone number, Graham--using aliases such as Wile E. Coyote, Barney Rubble, and Herman Munster--offers proof that spamming the spammers is the best revenge. Steve H. Graham is a retired attorney. Since childhood, he has been fighting for truth, justice, and free movie passes. For each copy sold of this book, he will donate 100 percent of the proceeds to himself. He is also the author of the cookbook Eat What You Want and Die Like a Man. He lives in Miami., Fed up with Nigerians asking for money laundering or people trying to buy your camper van for a million dollars? So is Steve Graham. Only he took matters into his own hands and entered into a blisteringly funny one-man vendetta against internet spammers - with side-splitting results. Spamming the spammers and scamming the scammers, Graham responds with a variety of ridiculous aliases, leading the offending emailists down labyrinthine avenues only possible in real life...

- r***1 (178)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
- 4***1 (1638)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufBook arrived quickly and is pretty close to "Very Good" description. Value priced and I'm glad I made the purchase as this is an excellent read. However, the book was mailed loose inside an over-sized plastic bag without any protection. Wrapped in a bubble wrap jacket would be a big help. A book can take a beating in USPS transit without some buffer. I can't tell if the bumps and dings were original or occurred in transit. I'd prefer to pay for shipping than have it sent with no protection.
