419 Scams in Private Email

[Web Monkey]

I had one scammer who had the bad luck to pick one of my (living) relatives as "being killed in a plnae crash".

I wrote back and said that I had just talked to him and he was most certainly not alive and would like his money immediately.

Never heard back for some reason.

I usually try to play along with them for a few e-mails.

"Really, I have a long lost uncle in the oil industry? I never knew?"

See how many e-mails I can get out of them... just for fun, you know.

If you are real adventerous you can string them along and make them go on safari to pick up cash at western unions, but it can be dangerous.
