I'm talking to a fake FBI agent on IM.

Apparently he wants to "send me money".

(I know - it's another one of the 419 scammers, but I'm gonna bait him)

6. okay - 'splain something to me

I've always thought I was too smart to get scammed. But maybe not as I'm too dumb to figure out how anyone could be dumb enough to GET scammed by something like that?

And to be perfectly honest, I don't know how knowing your address helps someone scam you anyway.

2. You mean the FBI doesn't send you money?

Wow! I didn't know there were still people not getting money from the FBI! You have a lot of catching up to do!
