How could you resist that face? Well, quite frankly we couldn't. That's why I'm introducing you to Sonny, the latest addition to our family.

When you have an hour to burn and pass a tattoo place that does walk ins. To explain, the red is the "Red Seal Of Truth" the scammers always add to their fake documents, and the S is from our site logo. You can just about see the bottom of the previous tattoo on the picture too.

Got a new tattoo today. You may recognise the subject. It'll take a couple of days until it looks its best, but I'm really pleased with how it came out.

@aleenaartist.bsky.social Do you like this picture I drew of you? Did I say you? Sorry, I meant Emma Laui, the actual person in your profile. Stolen "drawings" and a stolen profile pic. Seems the fake "artists" have turned up here as well now.

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but it made me laugh.

Took an old pic of me from a media article, asked ChatGPT to turn it into a cartoon. Got it to add in all the gray hair and make it thinner to more accurately reflect how my hair looks these days and got this. I may need to use this for my profile.

It even touched on sextortion, which was the subject of my second talk. I don't have that presentation anymore, but did merge it into a slideshow on the site at www.scamsurvivors.com/sextortion/
And no, that's not me with the hat!

I ordered 2 author copies of the new book to check them out properly, and they arrived today. Had a moment of panic when I spotted some blank pages, but then remembered I left them so people can add in their own funny scammer quotes. I even say so on the page before it.

Our combined Stupid Scammer Files 1 and 2 book will be available on March 26th. If you're going to see me at a conference and want one, let me know in advance as I can order author copies and sell them for less than you'd pay at Amazon.

My proof copy of the combined books has arrived. I've made a few tweaks to the finished version, mainly respacing some stuff that got shifted around from the change in paper size on the first book. It becomes available on March 26th, our 13th anniversary.

I sent off for some posters of the image I made combining both book covers, and they came today. To say I'm happy with them would be an understatement! I added noise to the image to hide some of the crimes, and they look absolutely brilliant.

If you go to the effort of contacting me for help with an article then you could at least get my name right. But then it is the Sun, so even asking for the least is too much.

OK, so my Bibbley idea didn't work but I think this one does. It combines the cover of the new book with the cover of the previous one.

Sometimes I have an idea that seems great to start, but ends up not working at all. Here's an example of one. "Let's add arms and legs to the logo so it looks more like a mascot. I'll call him Bibbley!!"
Yeah, I don't think so.
Yeah, I don't think so.
