Oh, dear.
Why won’t they let me forget “Pickle Surprise”????!!!!???
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
I actually did that.
i don’t know why but suddenly i want to send them all of my money
They are already sending me all of their money. They needed someone trust worthy and found me.
My fame goes further than I knew.

Hey…does anyone know why there is this scorch mark on the floor…??

Asshole
why am I an asshole?
Maybe you have an ass with a hole? :/
That’s not why I’m an asshole, it’s just saying that I have an asshole.
Why did Jamesicarius call me an asshole? Cause I started a combo?
Cry about it… Asshole.
Forget Pickle Surprise?
Why, oh why, would you want to go and do that?!?
This I believe is the glorious product of “411 Scameaters” website…Hours upon hours of joy
Why won’t you let US forget it? I didn’t think of it until you brought it up!
Suddenly I’m grateful for my policy of not clicky-ing linkies…
By knowing what you’d see without seeing it? *head asplodes*
To know…one does not have to see. :p
But one is so much the richer for seeing.
Wow…… I just watched pickle surprise….. WOW…
Why do I feel as if I am watching an old Kung Fu episode?

Hee…!
*Bows to the master*
This humble blogger seeks only enlightenment and the odd guffaw or ten.
Oh, I don’t even know what this is trying to be, but it’s just SO wrong!
It’s scambaiting- when a nigerian scammer spams you, you get them to prove their identity by taking pictures of themselves with custom-scrawled signs to prove they are them. They don’t know much english so they will write almost anything.
The sad thing is that it’s rarely ever the actual scammer in the picture, they’ve usually taken people hostage and make them take the picture.
What kind of retarded bullshit did you just pull out of your ass- some goon tryin to scam money over email is really going to hold three guys hostage? Why bother when it is predicated on the scammer’s belief that he will get the money if he does what is asked?
because people are stupid?…
this is disgraceful, demeaning and not something to laugh at why is this still up…
What the????….
I’ll eat in.
huh…don’t see that very often….
Wow! You’re missing out!
You oughta come visit here!
Those are the more NORMAL ones!
OK: WTF?????
What is that?
I believe that they are summoning the ghost of buddy holly.

LOL – best one I’ve seen today
You made me smile, thnx
Ok. I just do NOT understand how this photo relates to Nigerian scams. I see no credit cards or random boxes of electronics.
It may be one of those brilliant scam-them-back wins … i.e., I (or my religious sect) can’t accept the money unless [etc.].
Unless you give us all your money we’ll keep photographing ourselves doing this?
Here! Take it! Take it all!!!
*gives Judy one used pickle in change*
*drops used pickle and screams*
Peroxide! Iodine! Disinfectant!

*pulls clorox wipes out of back pocket* Over here Judy!!
My hero!
*exfoliation ensues*
*hides pickle in Judy’s bag*
*SQUEEZE* What a sneaky little moomin you are!
How the f***? Let me try that. (!)
Damn. Can someone explain how to do some of these?
Use colons instead of parentheses.
If you click the link in my name, it has the full list of them.
Sweet. I had no
helpful as always.
*sneaks in for a squeeze*
It’s called Scambating. Check out 419eater.com
Scambaiting*
I liked it better the other way
You just made my day
masterbating with a difference?
Lunch, perhaps? Dark meat on white with pickles on the side?
c-c-cannibals!
I have no problem admitting that I don’t get this one. WTF?
It does say the picture is unrelated. . .
Well, yeah… but the previous WTF extras weren’t so,,, odd.
You DO understand what the WTF stands for, right?
Where are the potatoes?
They are pre-prepared.
And shoved deep down into a golf club.
Now that would be a great prank.
*sighs AGAIN*
Yes, I do. I really didn’t expect to see a literal translation of it in picture form.
I’d like to think it went something like this. . .
Bloke1: Hey, I’ve got a great idea. . . .
*Everyone assumes position*
*Bloke1 spits out pickle*
Bloke: Actually, no. That didn’t work.
Step 3: profit$$
But what about step 2?
step 1: steal underwear
step 2:
step 3: profit
Underpants gnomes!!!!
I too don’t get this photo.
phase!
Worst Eiffel Tower, EVER!
I thought we called it the Gayfell Tower when it was 3 guys…
I thought it was suppose to be the London Bridge and I do believe it’s falling down.
But what time do the doors open?
I think it’s more a Tower Bridge, with little bread trucks crossing the Thames.
What are the pickles for then?
They’re blimps from the bombing defense during the second world war. It’s an historical re-enactment Tower Bridge.
*tiptoes off*
By Jove, hand that moomin a pickle!!
How ’bout we just get pickled instead…?
*hands Dragon a margarita*
Excellent idea!
Woohoo! Where is Strategist?? He really should be tending the bar…
I thought the Emperor was going to open his own bar.
It makes no difference to me because all I ever drink are cups of tea.
*sips from cup with pinky out*
You put your pinky in, you put your pinky out…
That’s an even worse earworm than Celine Dion!
Eckk…
I think the Nigerians are trying to copy the princesses
Anything you can do I can do better!
Oh yeah…? Try THIS!!
*ovulates*
Hee!
*faints*
*gets out the colored markers*
I hope they’re permanent.
Bwuaahahahahahahaaaa….!

What the hell is going on in this picture
I believe the picture speaks for itself.
Ok, but what language is it speaking?
A mix of lunatic and pickle.
Farsi
it’s speaking a form of braille in a scottish accent
It’s the harmony that throws me.
Scotland FTW!
That just made me laugh out loud, bravo that man
The scam is that they’re supposed to be Nigerian mail order brides (see the cute little bikini tops?), but they’re men, so they had to make fake hair and boobs out of bread, and it didn’t work out too well.
And the pickles? What about the pickles?
That’s the pickle surprise!
Boy, will their new husbands be surprised!
They’ll be pickled pink?
no they’ll be raped by a burro
One day Avis your naiveté is going to be the death of you! Ask Christopher during one of your smoochy moments. I’m sure he’ll know about the pickles.
*sigh*
It’s not innocence. It’s a deadpan delivery of a straight line.
I think this fail is lacking in a lot of things that are straight.
I think you may be right.
Is that B. Hussein Obama in the middle?
no
Practice for their duties once they have their new husbands?
Do you speak from experience?
Well, I’m not married…
Then would you like a pickle to…
practice with?
I didn’t say anything about the rest of it.
Oh well let me know because:
I just pick a pack of pickles prior to posting a poorly pondered proposition for a party.
is the party located in some poor hobo’s pants? if yes then we will need mayo of the meaty variety…
It makes so much less sense now…
its quite obvious that its an advanced form of jump rope; just wait till you see the double dutch version
BF? I think I’m going to need a set of those goggles….
Here ya go.
*gives anti-freaky hershey man goggles to Judy*
Yeah, and we thought guantanamo bay was bad…
Ohh god…bread boarding…the new interrogation tactic! The pickles are there for taste only.
And the remarkably fashionable tops they’re wearing?
They are only there for lack-of-taste.
Hm, I thought they were cheesecakes?
ok, what the hell are we looking at here? I am sorry, but I really don’t get this. someone please please explaing this. particularly the guy in the middle.
We’re still trying to figure that out ^ up there a bit.
This is the penalty for not paying taxes.
Basically this is an initiation ceremony to join a Church invented by a Scambaiter.
I think one of the lads is named Moses Uzeme. He was a scammer and got his just deserts.
Sorry to disturb you after all this time but may I ask you from where you know my husbands name? Moses Uzeme? Thx for response!
I think these three need to get with the polar princesses and have one hell of an afternoon.
They could have fun in the truck treehouse.
Maybe get a happy meal, or stop by Shoeless Joes?
Okay – how about this:
This is the new form of torture that the Nigerian government has come up with. They call it, The Deli!
Sorry, that’s all I got left. It’s hard to concentrate now that I’ve rubbed all the skin off of my hands.
Well don’t work the pickle that hard.
Or use some mayonnaise.
Mayonnaise is one of my favourite foodstuffs. I will not stand by and let you sully its good name with your perverted innuendo.
If I barf the next time I eat mayo, I’m blaming you.
*is dangerously close to barfing now*
I managed to catch whatever cold my mom has.
Avis, mr cuddles has some disinfectant wipes…
Whatever you do don’t look in the bukkit.
You are not helping.
Look into my
chesteyes instead…I … can make some decent chicken soup to make you better honey. I would have an awesome recipe, but my mom won’t release that recipe except on her deathbed.
Honestly? The idea of food is not sitting very well right now. I tried to make soup earlier. I couldn’t eat it.
But thank you!
Why would you want to eat soup on your mother’s deathbed?
I’d at least go for pizza.
*looks into bukkit* OH GOD!!! IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE DIED IN THERE AND GOT POOPED ON!!!! AND OMG, THERE’S A HOBO DOIN’ A RABBIT!!!!
Looks like a Guantanamo-Torture scene to me. Not funny at all.
Laughing at others being tortured now seems even a little bit more american to me.
No offense, just being cynical.
PS: Did Obama even close all torture-facilities? Didn’t follow the news…
It’s in the works pending finding a country willing to take them. That’s being a bit of a pain.
May I be so bold as to suggest the great nation of Organe?
You may.
Amen. These “Scambaiters” are the ultimate in FAILure. They have no conception of what life is like in the third world. If I lived in Lagos and found out that there were people stupid and rich enough to give me thousands of dollars and all I had to do was appeal to their own greed it would be irresponsible of me not to do so.
There’s a great “This American Life” about the vigilante heroes of scambaiting. Check out the free podcast. Listen to our heroes, defending ignorant Americans from our own email inboxes! Hear them howl like monkeys as they send poor dupes into areas where civil wars are taking place! Marvel at their brilliance!
FAIL on FAILblog for this post.
Yes we’re the bad ones for scambaiting. These “poor” nigerians are victims of us living “The American Life.” What about all of the Americans that have been scammed out of EVERY penny they own due to these poor Nigerian “victims.” They prey on Americans and make up BS stories to pull on heart strings to scam MILLIONS of people out of money. That is why Nigeria now has imposed a law that you can’t wire transfer more than $2000 at a time into Nigeria. To protect US from THEIR people.
I kinda figured they were trying to look like women, but…. the one in the middle with the bread dress? Why is that one being carried? Please, if anyone knows more about this pic…. actually please keep it to yourself.
theyre actully going 2 cook him, but bake the bread on his chest
they have the pickles in their mouths as they cant carry them
WTF? get these WTF’s out of here. They ruin the integrity of this site, which is what keeps people coming back.
*ruins karman’s integrity*
Blows him a kiss.
Anybody seen BOGGY?
Check out 419eater.com, if you don’t get it, worth to visit, by the way.
The pickle on the left seems very sad :/
give him viagra
Honey, the bread still isn’t baked all the way through – are you sure this Nigerian oven is set up right?
You need to rock him faster for the bread to cook! Bite harder on the pickles dammit! *has said pickles more in the last 20min then in the last two years*
PICKLE!!
Probably not as much as that guy in “the Sandlot.”
What does this picture mean????? I need to know-I don’t want to know but I need to know….
They were trying to scam someone and that someone (to get back at them) asked for proof they were real asking for a very specific in details picture
That may be the greatest thing I have ever heard. Ever.
This is a photograph of three men being tortured. It is NOT sex play. It is sadism and humiliation.
This is not amusing in any way. Notice the bruises and burn marks on the middle guy? The weights on the heads of the other two?
NOT funny.
NOT cool.
It is NOT torture. The people in this picture are criminals who try to scam people out of money. Someone purposely replied to their scam so as to waste their time. That person probably said something like:”Okay, I’ll wire you the $18,000 in attorney fees if you prove you are committed by putting a pickle in your mouth blah blah blah and taking a picture”.
Those aren’t weights, btw, they are loaves of bread.
So, in the end, these people are being purposely humiliated, but only because they are criminals who are trying to steal money from your gramma.
Oh, sorry, Blob. My mistake. Are you the one in the middle?
He’s actually 90% correct. They are DOING that because a fairly ingenious counter-scammer convinced them they could make a big score. I have no idea how, but I saw the original thread on the original site. There’s actually a second angle of this photo sitting on my HD.
Not torture, they did that of their own free will.
The original pictures were a bit more washed out though, someone touched up the color balance.
This is a classic “join my church” scambait. I didn’t see the original thread outlining the bait, but I’ve seen enough of them to know exactly what this is – and the inclusion of bread and cucumbers makes it clear which fantastically talented baiter actually did this one.
For the uninitiated, the scammers probably tried a “charity” scam – offering to share a huge fortune with someone in the US to help “widows and motherless babies” if the victim will simply send $2500 in “administrative fees” through Western Union to obtain the non-existant fund. Then they disappear with the “fee”. The baiter likely turned the tables and convinced the scammers they would donate oogles of dollars to THEM if they would join their “church” – but joining requires an initiation rite involving bread, cucumbers and photographs. These are scumbag criminals who would take the last penny from your dying grandmother if they could convince her to visit Western Union and send it to them.
I don’t think those are pickles. They look more like zucchini.
Ahhhhhhh, so it IS torture after all!!
See any potatoes?
WTF?????????????
Stupid ass Nigerians
^Racism win.
Racism never wins.
Sorry.
*scribbles out “Racism win” and inserts “Idiotic bigot win”.
Is that better?
Much. Thanks, hun.
DRAGON!!! So sorry I wasn’t on here yesterday, but I’m giving you a big internets
HUG!, and for the rest of the night, all your drinks are on me.*Playfully ruffles Dragon’s hair* Happy belated birthday Dragon!
*Slides Pomegranate margaritas her way*
Ooh, free drinks! Thanks, Christopher!
“Nigerian” is not a race, you know.
Racism always wins. Do your history homework.
I actually know EXACTLY where this is from and the entire story behind it.
Scambaiting. Not going to post the actual site though.
Yeah, we’ve already seen enough sights.
Umm…
I hope the guy above is right in suggesting that this was a scam and those are the scammers trying to prove their own existence…. Because in that case, it is fargging hysterical.
Otherwise, yeah, I’d say this is some kind of war crime in progress. I mean, it certainly looks like something that was either done for copious drugs or at gunpoint. They look miserable. BTW, I am pretty sure those aren’t pickles.
well then what’s the bread?
We get this in the UK too and I know a scambaiter and this looks like the kind of thing they ask them to do. Sure they look miserable they proably hated every minute of it but hopefully one day it’ll get through to them that we’re taking the p*ss and their scam’s aren’t working, all the time they are tied up with ..emm pickles they’re not out conning old misses whatshername down your street.
“in the UK”? Can I enqure which part of the UK you live in?
Oh, dear Lord! What have you done to that poor helpless word?
*picks up “inquire” and wraps it in a blanket*
Don’t worry, little one… BFF can’t hurt you anymore.
looks like a story for National Inquirer
BLOGGER ENDS QUERY WITH PREPOSITION
(…which is a perfectly acceptable practice in English.)
I don’t know why this something up with which you will not put.
Just picking on you, Loz & BFF in one strike, given the opportunity.
The National (UK) Inquirer comment was more clever in any case
I THOUGHT you might be filling in for Loz!
She’ll be sooo proud. She still twits me about that issue. :p
That sentence made me dizzy.
I like to keep my wildlife just a wee bit off balance.
It’s almost like Yoda speak.
Confusing it is… hmm? (You have to imagine the Yoda voice to make that work!)
He’s English; he just missed the ‘i’. I thought you could swing both ways.
*the choir sings RULE BRITANNIA*
Prince Edward was in my neck of the woods today.
Luckily for me, I was in the Canary Wharf!
*roffles*
I beg your pardon?
*quizzical look*
Eddie landed his chopper on the grass.
Hang on a minute… I think I’m in the wrong thread!
oh oh.
uh uh?
He went to Hangleton. I’d give you a clickie of proof but the local rags take two weeks to publish anything!
Fine… maybe I won’t report him to the SPCW. I’ll let him off with a warning.
That’s vowelly nice of you Hammykins.
I know. I’m in a consonant state of generosity.
Tell me…do you have any sibilants, or are you an only child?
He does have a grammar, does that count?
I’ve got three. I have brother, but I’m the youngest son(orant). I also have two older sisters.
*inserts “a” before brother*
Sorry. Sometimes Y make typos.
*grabs the unnecessary apostrophe from the word “scams” and throws it out the window*
What’s the point of that? What the hell are they doing and why? I don’t get it. It’s stupid.
I think you should stop talking about yourself.
Its the efect of pickles ,DONT look TO THE pickles boy!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*sets self on fire and jumps out of window*
Actually we call them cucumbers
DOES NOT COMPUTE
I am very much afraid right now. What is on his chest? Loaves of bread?
79.8, no errors.
52.6 no errors. Hey, I’m improving!
I refuse to try it. I have enough humiliation in my life.
Ohhh you can do it. I have some under 20! If you don’t like your score, I will delete your entry from the database and we will never talk about it again.
I will know and that is the deepest kind of humiliation. In high school I put on a burst of speed near the end of typing class and got to 18 wpm. Those were manual typewriters.
Type-wri-ter? What’s that, some sort of old timey computer?
Word processor and printer all in one unit. Power source independent from main grid.
I thought you were still using one, coyote…and had managed to somehow hook it up to a modem.
I sense Dilly’s evil influence here. I do have a 1911 Underwood that I use.
82.8! Woo!
Show off!
I’m going with a guess that they’re trying to be female but they’ve never seen a real one close up. It all went tits up/down..you choose!
He has a bun in the oven.
Several even.
Does that mean he will generate the required number of nipples to cope???
It is torture. Hardly any doubt. These pictures should not appear on this web site. It’s lame and disgusting and sad.
No, it is NOT torture, it was an attempt to scam money from someone that went horribly horribly right.
Do a google search on “scambaiting”.
No, it’s torture. Yes, there is something called scambaiting, but this isn’t it. This is torture.
By that same logic, American Idol is torture. They were “forced” into doing this by no force more powerful than their own greed.
I read the ORIGINAL thread they were posted in, and have this and the other pictures, before someone altered the color balance.
Again, they are willingly doing this because someone (and I have NO idea how) convinced them they were scamming money out of someone.
its a scam not torture lol
look on the site 4 it
I-I don’t understand…
Aaand, thanks for being the second volunteer for non-existence.
*FOOOOOOOOOM!!!*

SIr ,defuse the bomb plz!
Er…okey dokey then.It looks like 1 of those awkward moments,when you tend to say “Wtf”?? :p
what the hell is going on there.
I really need to know.
It simple.
You get an email from someone offering you a fortune for nothing.
You reply showing interest.
The lad responds and all of a sudden you are asked to pay fees. Fees for layers, courier companies etc.
So you decide to lead him on. You set up an email account in a fake name, and you offer him money, but only if he joins your fake church. You can’t ask him for cash as that is not allowed in the better scambaiting sites, so you go for a “Trophy” – a picture of the lad doing stupid things.
This was part of the initiation ceremony. He has to to find 2 other “converts” to help him with the ceremony.
Of course he gets no money, is humiliated, and his time and effort has been wasted. Time that he could have used targetting a real victim.
i don,t get but.WTF
YOU DONUT KNOWN NONTHING ABOUT AFRICA iam african
them explain to us
Today is your lucky day! My great aunt was a cat hoarder, and unexpected died following tripping over an errant can of tuna at the top of her basement stairs. Her skeleton was found three weeks later, when the postman started to hear yowls of hunger coming from the house. Luckily, however, all the kittehs have been relocated to our kitteh shelter, and are ready to come live with you! All you have to do is allow us to send three tractor-trailers of tuna to your house, so we’re going to need your address, your blood type, and whether or not you have any relatives who may be considered disposable.
Thank you.
Barrister Lol MacFreedles
