Wow, I got full on involved with a scammer for the first time just earlier this morning. So I get an instant message on facebook from a friend of mine, lets call him Yoni. What's up Yoni? How goes... bla bla. Right? No, not today. Today someone decided to hijack Yoni's facebook account and try scamming his friends. Well, color me impressed! Instantly I realize this is a scam so I try to put "Yoni" to a test. Obviously sideswiped. So lets play on, player.... I am posting the logs, host lookup, whois lookup and a screenshot or two. We'll see where this goes, I just started talking to the scammer again. This is really a lot of fun.
Obviously Yoni's entire setup is compromised. Not only his Facebook but also his Yahoo email. Either he is using the same password for multiple sites (tisk tisk) or his machine got so rooted that they are streaming keystrokes back to the mother ship. Either way he is pwned in a major way. Yes I already left him and his girlfriend a voice mail and sent them texts so, If either of you are reading this change all your passwords pronto. Also, reformat your computers.
Read on for some classic interweb scammin comedy and a followup from our clueless scammer. I actually got him to take a look at this post. This moron was actually waiting for me to send him the confirmation code. Honestly, who falls for this stuff?
I tell you, this is some of the most fun I've had online in quite some time. In the immortal words of the great Kanye West:

Let's have a toast for the douchebags,
Let's have a toast for the assholes,
Let's have a toast for the scumbags

I couldn't agree with you more, Kanye. Three cheers. Or in the immortal words of my dear scammer:
