Another year nearly over! It certainly does not feel like 12 months have passed since I wrote last years Review.
The Admins and Mods are thankful to everybody for treating each other with kindness and respect, the only contempt shown is towards those that deserve it – our entertaining scammers.
As stated in last year’s review which still holds true, we encourage members to post their baits, promote their YouTube Channel (please read Rules for Promoting Channels/Sites) or comment on the baits in progress. As a request please also take a little time out to acquaint yourself with the Forum Rules, Ethics, & Guidelines.
If there is anything you wish to highlight, you are more than welcome to make it known in the comment box below. We would like to hear your thoughts about anything that was of interest to you or made you laugh!

Do we also have any members interested in creating humourous images of scammers from active / live baits? I personally enjoy seeing members’ contributions, such as creepthecreepers editions of "Guyman Weekly": Issue 419 and Issue 420 for that extra laugh at the scammers expense.
Approximately 230 members registered with ScamBaiting Forum this year and some of these new members have been posting baits. Congratulations to these members for wasting their scammers time and resources and more importantly keeping them away from genuine victims for a while!
If you are newly registered or a long term member and have not as yet introduced yourself, we would very much like to hear from you: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! and by doing so you can add a
wave icon to your signature (see Signature Icons).
Many thanks go to the new and seasoned reporters of scammer bank accounts, you are kicking the scammers where it hurts most
. Well done guys.
Many scammers this year have cried, unwillingly travelled with the promise of money (sadly returned home disappointed
) and built beautiful pyramids / monuments in honour of our (Birlic's) beloved church. Speaking of pyramids...here are two from both ends of the spectrum: Godwin and Dr. Abdul, they are spectacular in their own unique way.

Some members may not post their baits regularly, however when they do, it's great to see how many hoops their scammers have jumped through. Thank you for your time and the energy it takes to post for our entertainment.
