5. That's my new hobby....
I strung them along through several replies before they've finally caught on.

Oh, sure, you could just hit the "Spam" button on your e-mail, but this is infinitely more amusing.

What I want to do next is to draft an "Americanized" version of their tale of woe, then save one of the e-mail addresses that comes through, then send my version to them out of the blue.

6. When they contacted me I tried compassion and guilt. All they did
was ignore my responce and take it as a sign I needed the second follow up Nigerian email scam letter. I blew. They don't even read the responces to them. How insulting (moreso that thinking I would ever fall for their evil ruse).

crap to you.
