Scam baiters claim that a helpful spin-off of
419 scams baiting has been the contact of false and fraudulent
"lottery," "banking" and "credit"
services that are often created by the 419 spam sendes to further
their scams and make them seem legitimate. Some of the scam baiters
specialize in hunting down and "killing" these fake sites
in order to get rid of one of the tools in the scammers' arsenal.
There are very few known cases of 419 scammer discovering
their real identity of a scam baiter, since baiters are always using
fake e-mail accounts and are careful not to unveil any personal
details. Some baiter claim, which scammers have visited the fake
addresses the baiter gave them.
Scam
baiting could also be considered a type of smart taking operation,
although most scam baits in this 419 scam baiting results in ctually
trying to waste time instead of catching the scammer and might not
fit the definition of a smart operation.
