I don't understand why people still get these.

I have a good email server, so all crap is filtered out as spam.

[ianash]

Why don't you auction them on Ebay?

[va1o]

I'm not used to seeing them on my primary Gmail account. Just thought I would look at Yahoo as I hadn't logged in for a few months and saw the above.

[TheEnd]

Play along and act real stupid.
they'll be hooked, and you can waste their time asking what bank codes to send, then send the post code, then send the post code for the bank again.

Then describe your account statement (well my account is on white paper, with a box in the middle and a list of things i bought), and what the bank looks like.

Hopefully they'll punch the screen after a few days.

I have played along with a few 419 scammers. Ask for IDs and the like. I have a jpeg of a bank ID from South Africa whee you can easily see the tipex under the scammer's name. Hilarious.

Best is to try to get one to meet you somewhere where you can see him on a webcam. I was in hospital at the time and missed seeing my lad on the camera, but he assures me he was there!

I've only ever got one of these emails, I feel left out.

[RJB_666]

I get 3 or 4 a day on my hotmail account. Play along, let me know how it goes Might be able to put my name down for one of the new V12 Vantage's after all
