Is This A Scam?

This little site was designed to help you identify an internet scam.  A lot of business takes place on the internet every day, and fraud artists know this and exploit that knowledge for their own purposes.  Hopefully, this site will help you differentiate between the real stuff and the stuff you want to avoid. 

I'm William Radcliffe, also known as Obi-Wan Knievel at ScamWarners and 419 Eater.  I've been involved in the anti-fraud community for years, and have recently started volunteering my time online.  A number of fraud criminals would like to see me dead already, and I'm sure the list will grow over time.  Fortunately, out of all the people who have tried to kill me, so far only 2 have succeeded.

Fraud artists like anything that holds the promise of easy money.  Scams have existed since the dawn of time, and the internet provides scammers with the perfect tool to commit their crime.  They can reach thousands of people worldwide and operate with nearly complete anonymity at very little cost to themselves.

It could be.  Have a look at the Scam Checklist on the next page, and you'll get a better idea.
