419 Flash Mob

419 Flash Mob, supported by Artists Against 419, has declared war on criminals who host fake bank Web sites in the hope of luring victims to deposit money there. The attacks began on Wednesday.
A Web site statement from Artists Against 419 said, "This flash mob is in celebration of Chinese New Year... Our aim is to shut down eight fake bank web sites in less than 48 hours!"
The criminals who operate the 419 scam, also known as the advance fee fraud, send out emails, letters and faxes asking for help to recover a large sum of money from a bank, in return for a share of the loot. Some of these scammers have now graduated to running their own fake banking Web sites.
