| 389653 | 2005-09-20 06:08:00 | Hello, I have just received my first ever Nigeria money scam email whereby it says the usual story. At the bottom of the email, it provided me an email for me to confirm my willingness to do their job. Should I play along with them? Or should I take this very very seriously and immediately delete it? Since they are fooling around with me, I suppose I could do the same thing toward them, couldn't I? ;) Cheers :) |

| 389654 | 2005-09-20 06:13:00 | All depends on whether or not you find it entertaining. You won't teach them a lesson if that's what you're thinking. I'd just biff it. Anything that encourages them is bad news to me. You could string them along for an interesting excercise in bull****ing. :2cents: .....m :D |

| 389656 | 2005-09-20 06:20:00 | Find someone you don't like, get their name, address, contact numbers etc and send those. If you can't think of anyone I surely could nominate a couple. :D |

| 389657 | 2005-09-20 06:41:00 | Apparently someone did this and created a site with all the emails etc. Not sure of the URL though... | bob05 (8721) | ||
| 389658 | 2005-09-20 06:43:00 | Would I be doing us good if I forward that email to some online cyberpatrol or police's email? :confused: Cheers :) |

| 389659 | 2005-09-20 06:45:00 | Doubt it. Just more clutter. They're well known so it's not as if you'd be alerting anyone to a new threat. | mark c (247) | ||
| 389660 | 2005-09-20 06:47:00 | Dont reply, it might mean you getting more spam. | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 389661 | 2005-09-20 06:57:00 | Dont reply, it might mean you getting more spam . Hmmm, what if I post their email on my website and let people spam them instead? :rolleyes: Their emails are based on @msn and @hotmail, interestingly . Cheers :) |

| 389662 | 2005-09-20 09:58:00 | So make a thread about it. Oh wait, you did already. If you want to waste your time then by all means, you don't need the internets permission to be a dork. Apparently someone did this and created a site with all the emails etc. Not sure of the URL though...Yeah, this has been done by stacks of other people with mixed results, not exactly a new idea. :rolleyes: |
