internet fraud!

[baratron]

This is what I've been working on tonight: internetfraud. Some of my earlier posts here with the internet drama tag have been made friends-only following the new public versions on the internet fraud journal.

I have two more stories to tell there, but not tonight!

Nice. I'm glad to see you are including true stories. It's unfortunate, but people who are completely legit do get treated when they don't deserve it. Usually by those who have been burned by the fakes.

Very cool thing you're doing. Hopefully the word will spread.

That seems like a good thing.

The scary thing is that I sometimes get this totally evil urge to try such a fake myself, on the grounds that I'd be sooo much better at it than these people. And then I realise that it would be a bit evil...

I'm not sure whether you're aware of it, but there exists a community fake_lj_deaths which may be of interest in the circumstances.

If you'd checked the userinfo of my other journal, you'd have seen that internetfraud is a member of it ;) Sadly, none of these fakes have taken place on livejournal, so they're rather out of fake_lj_deaths' remit.
