342269 2005-04-07 06:47:00 The only thing that can be said for plonkers that get scammed, is that they deserve it.

My thoughts as well. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

342272 2005-04-07 10:39:00 Has anyone tried responding to one of these scams and leading them on a bit to see how far things go? I've always thought it would be fun to register a new email with Yahoo (so that I don't attract lots of spam to my good emails) and try it.

But there are better things to do...........

342273 2005-04-07 10:50:00 Hi Tideman. Yes, there have been several sites where the authors followed up one of these offers and engaged the originator in dozens of emails in a false build-up. The first few were quite funny but it soon became obvious that the super-frauds on the other end were also a bit thick. As previously mentioned, the simple answer to "why" is greed. :cool: Scouse (83)
