This article at 419 Eater describes how someone managed to bait a Nigerian 419 Scammer into creating a wooden model of the characters from Creature Comforts and a Commodore 64 keyboard.
A slightly different twist on my now familiar artwork anti-scam. I manage to secure two pieces of artwork, but unfortunately due to the temperature and humidity fluctuations between here and West Africa, as well as rogue rodents, there are problems.
It’s an interesting and amusing read.
