#westernunionscam I made two bots that go around the web posting fake craigslist adds I scrape the emails looking for common scammer templates and I get them to overnight me a check from a stolen account. This cost them 26 dollars each time. I then automated the responses to fraud departments at banks burning there stolen account information. So they can not use the fake checks to defraud other people.

I started this research/project after my grandma died this year she was scammed by people like this out of 1000s of dollars she had Alzheimer's before she passed away.

Western union scams work by the scammer sending a check for more than the amount of the product for sale. These checks are on stolen accounts and will bounce after about 8-9 days leaving victim out money

Submitted detailed CFP for #Derbycon hopefully it gets accepted. If it does not I will be making youtube video and Steemit post of research
