A student journalist is currently in the process of gathering information and interested interviewees on the subject of scams, scambaiting and the effect scams have on their victims.
This documentary has a great potential to heighten awareness of scams in the community which will be a huge help to our work in education and preventing people from being scammed.
The person who is gathering this information and who will be doing the reporting has been thoroughly checked out to ensure she is exactly who she claims to be and full anonymity has been assured.
Below is a snippet of what she has to say;
For those willing to make themselves available for an interview, they will need to be near or able to get to The areas of Leeds, West Yorkshire or Bath areas.
Anybody from other areas or who is not comfortable with an interview but would still like to help, she is also interested in the stories and thoughts of those who have been scammed in order to help with the content.
For those who would like more information, I would be happy to pass on any questions to the journalist and provide contact information to those who would like to get in touch.

I wanted to put a post up as I am currently in the process of researching a Documentary I will be making about 419 Scambaiting and victims of 419 Scams. This is a 3rd Year University Project conducted at University of Leeds, UK. This is my final and biggest project I will be making and wonder if anyone would feel comfortable enough to speak about their experiences of 419 Scams. The purpose of the Documentary is to educate and inform others who are unaware or ill informed about the various types of 419 Scams and how scambaiters are fighting back on our behalf.
If you have fallen victim or have a story to tell I would like to hear your story/experience.
I would like to add that I am aware of the importance of anonymity and therefore you do not have to disclose real names even if you do wish to take part, real names will not be featured.
The Documentary will be 30 mins in length and is submitted as an equivalent to a dissertation.
This offer is open to anyone wishing to take part.
Thanks for reading and looking forward to hearing from you.
