And on top of that, Liv Morgan, Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock.

I wasn't aware Steph and HHH had split and she'd moved to Lagos.

To celebrate 20 years of my being a part of the antiscam community, I've made the e-book versions of both "The Stupid Scammer Files" and The Stupid Scammer Files 2 - The Baiting Bibble" free on Friday 5th December. You can find them both on Amazon.

How could you resist that face? Well, quite frankly we couldn't. That's why I'm introducing you to Sonny, the latest addition to our family.

I handed over my card and it was declined! "That happens sometimes when you try to blip it. It'll work if I do the PIN". Sure enough, it did. Lo and behold, the couple wearing joggers/t-shirt and a TEMU dress managed to pay their bill when the guy in the fancy suit couldn't.

Next to us was a group who were bragging to each other about how much money they were making. When the bill came, one said "Don't worry, I've got this" and handed over his credit card, which was promptly declined. Three times! In the end, someone else had to pay the bill for him.

You know how you read a story online and go "Yeah, there's no way that's true"? This was one I never believed until it actually happened right next to me.

My wife and I were recently at a pub having a meal. It was quite a bit fancier than what we usually go for, but it was a special occasion.

When you have an hour to burn and pass a tattoo place that does walk ins. To explain, the red is the "Red Seal Of Truth" the scammers always add to their fake documents, and the S is from our site logo. You can just about see the bottom of the previous tattoo on the picture too.

Here's a new one I'm seeing in mass sent romance scam emails:

"What's your name? And what country are you from?
Also, to find out if you're real, tell me how many colours are in the spectrum."

Got a new tattoo today. You may recognise the subject. It'll take a couple of days until it looks its best, but I'm really pleased with how it came out.

@aleenaartist.bsky.social Do you like this picture I drew of you? Did I say you? Sorry, I meant Emma Laui, the actual person in your profile. Stolen "drawings" and a stolen profile pic. Seems the fake "artists" have turned up here as well now.

Went to see The Roses today. The original is better by far, though it's not a bad movie if you haven't seen it. Time to dig out the DVD and watch that version.

phpBB โ€ข What is going on? Is this some kind of widespread attack?

If you run a PHPBB forum and are experiencing an overwhelming number of bots, I'd recommend reading www.phpbb.com/community/vi... It seems it's a pretty common thing right now.

Using Cloudflare means we can turn on "under attack mode" when it happens, so we can keep running. Someone out there clearly doesn't want us posting up scammer information, but we're not going to stop.

It only took a few days for me to completely break the new forum by installing a plugin. Thankfully I still had the admin panel running in another tab and was able to delete it there. We're still dealing with DDoS attacks though. At one point the forum had over 10k "visitors" before crashing.

We're 99.9% sorted on the new site. There are a few leftovers from the old server/software, but these are just minor things. What hasn't helped was the fact we were being hit by a DDoS attack at the same time that we were doing all these changes. Someone apparently didn't want the site working.

After what seems like a lifetime, we've finally moved our site to the new server and upgraded everything. There's still a few kinks to iron out, but on the whole everything is working as it should. If you receive a scam email, you can post it on scamsurvivors.com/forum/index.... to warn others.

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but it made me laugh.

Decided to buy some upgrades for my PC in the Ebuyer sale. New motherboard, CPU and RAM. Guess what my plan is for tomorrow once everything's arrived. The bits I'm removing, along with some spare bits I have and a new case will make a nice PC I can sell on to recuperate some of the money.
