Synopsis

I have been a scambaiter for several years now, among other things, and I am on a quest to humiliate scammers, waste their time, and name and shame them wherever possible. Online scams can cover every aspect of life including Lottery scams, Inheritance scams, Investment scams ….the list goes on. My main interest however, is Romance scams. These scams can be particularly cruel as the victims are often dealt a double blow both emotionally, and financially. To the untrained eye, the scammers can be quite convincing. To the trained eye, they are full of flaws. In this book we aim to highlight their shortcomings and make them look completely stupid in their efforts to scam our decoy Facebook profile “Gertrude Gutbucket”. Gertrude, or “Gerty” as she is affectionately known sprang to life from my early involvement with a support group for those who have suffered at the hands of romance scammers. In an effort to exact some kind of revenge on behalf of the group members, Gerty was thrust into action to play known scammers at their own game, with the resulting conversations being posted onto the group wall purely for the entertainment value that her correspondence with the scammers created. Two groups benefit from Gerty’s adventures and she has become something of a cult figure within those two groups as the hapless scammers try to encourage Gerty to send them money by any means possible with hilarious results......

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Stephen Lee Ostrowski lives in West London in the UK and his speciality is scammers. Having concentrated his efforts on Russian girlfriend scams for some years, he then turned his attention to the flood of fake profiles found on Facebook and other such social networking sites. This has resulted in the publication of two books on scammers "Hello My New Best Friend" (The Russian Girlfriend Scams) and "Gerty Bites Back" (Facebook fakes). The author has his own unique way of dealing with scammers and you are sure to laugh from start to finish reading either of the aforementioned titles. One other available publication is "UK TV Adverts" (And How To Be A Serial Complainer) in which the author plagues large retail corporations and advertising agencies with ridiculous complaints about the products they are advertising. Again, sure to make you laugh. Stephen is also a musician and three CD's are currently available through Amazon covering a wide spectrum of music from Classical guitar to Jazz funk
