I have been a scambaiter for several years now, among other things, and I am on a quest to humiliate scammers, waste their time, and name and shame them wherever possible. Online scams can cover every aspect of life including Lottery scams, Inheritance scams, Investment scams ....the list goes on. My main interest however, is Romance scams. These scams can be particularly cruel as the victims are often dealt a double blow both emotionally, and financially. To the untrained eye, the scammers can be quite convincing. To the trained eye, they are full of flaws. In this book we aim to highlight their shortcomings and make them look completely stupid in their efforts to scam our decoy Facebook profile Gertrude Gutbucket. Gertrude, or Gerty as she is affectionately known sprang to life from my early involvement with a support group for those who have suffered at the hands of romance scammers. In an effort to exact some kind of revenge on behalf of the group members, Gerty was thrust into action to play known scammers at their own game, with the resulting conversations being posted onto the group wall purely for the entertainment value that her correspondence with the scammers created. Two groups benefit from Gerty's adventures and she has become something of a cult figure within those two groups as the hapless scammers try to encourage Gerty to send them money by any means possible with hilarious results......
