i get (supposed) african preachers sending me begging letters, at least 3 a day. i used to read them for a laugh, but now they just get binned straight away. i say sell your computer and cancel your internet subscription, then dig a well.

The next time you get one would you mind posting the body of it for me to take a look at, don't think I've seen one of those yet.

Check out sites like(link removed) and (link removed) for ideas on how to deal with people like that. Those sites are just two of many, many that provide hours of entertainment as well as education regarding these fraudsters. And if you decide to engage in baiting the scammers (the sites will explain exactly what that is), then more power to you and all the people who are ripped off by these criminals.

Manila_Joe,

I have removed those two links you provided because it really isn't appropriate to be directing people who are here looking for information and help to sites which could end up putting them in a worse situation.

Playing with Phishers isn't something that should be taken lightly. It is not a game. Nor is it appropriate to suggest that it is. These people are criminals and as such have criminal mentalities.
