In this section you will find a selection of pictures that scambaiters have managed to get from their scammers.
 
Note that although the large majority of the people featured here are the scammers themselves, sometimes they pay, or even threaten with violence, innocent people to pose on their behalf. Yet another reason to despise these evil people even more. As most of you have probably guessed, most of the names the scammers use are of course entirely false as well.
 
It should also be noted that scambaiters do NOT go actively seeking scammers of a certain skin colour. We only engage thieves who send us emails trying to steal from us. We do not target any particular type of person or country.
 
It is important to understand that scambaiters only respond to scam emails we receive. Unfortunately it is a sad fact of life that the majority of "419" scams do originate from Western and Southern Africa - we estimate 50% - 55% of "419" scam attempts are sent from these places - but these scams also come from places such as England, Spain, Ireland, USA, Canada, The Netherlands, Australia and many more.
 
ALL the images here are a direct result of a CRIMINAL or CRIMINALS, trying to STEAL money from people they assume to be innocent soon-to-be victims. They tried all made contact with us first, with the sole intention of stealing our money.
 
For the most part these criminals are not, "poor people trying to scratch a living", but are indeed very prosperous compared to their law-abiding countrymen, and many operate in highly organised, and highly successful criminal gangs. Millions of dollars are stolen on a DAILY basis, with absolutely no thought given to victims, who are losing vast amounts of money, homes, relatives, jobs and worse. Contrary to popular belief, it is not just "greedy & stupid people" that fall for these scams.

Le rôle fondamental que tient le visage dans la communication verbale et non-verbale est à l'origine d'une faculté très développée chez l'être humain et les autres primates qui consiste à pouvoir identifier très rapidement un visage dans son environnement et être capable d'en reconnaître l'identité particulier parmi plusieurs centaines d'autres. Cette aptitude très spécifique résulte d'une pression évolutionnaire et repose sur des mécanismes neurocognitifs complexes en partie innés dont certains sont présents chez le nourrisson dès la naissance mais qui continuent de se développer au cours de la vie.
 
En électroencéphalographie (EEG), la présentation de l'image d'un visage engendre un potentiel évoqué en seulement 170 ms environ. Cela donne un indice de la rapidité du traitement des informations visuelles qui permet la perception et la reconnaissance d'un visage.
