I wanted to share this massive win. I previously mentioned our scam baiting operation which included several email addresses and two fake websites. The details are documented on our blog, for those interested: https://hekacrew.wordpress.com/

Today we learned that a website hosted with Nigerian hosting provider [Upperlink] and used in advance-fee scams was also taken down. We are honestly very impressed with the service, speed and care of that provider.

Key learning: Never assume foreign hosting providers won't act on properly reported SCAM operations. Reach out with enough evidence and be respectful.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to share how our scam baiting started. The operation took a month and we exchanged numerous emails, collected a lot of data and reported several email addresses and 2 fake websites. Most emails have been taken down after being reported, and so has one website which was hosted on Hostinger.

We also aimed to create some entertaining content while responding to scammers - if anyone is interested in details of the operation, it it available on our blog https://hekacrew.wordpress.com/
