OT - My First Nigerian Scam Email

[douglas]

That's a lot shorter than any of the Nigerian scam's I've had turn up in my inbox. Now if you have some spare time, I've heard that baiting the scammers can be fun. Pretend to be suckered by it at first but point out any inconsistencies you notice, ask why they need x piece of information to deposit money in your bank account, ask for proof of identity, etc. See how much nonsense you can get out of them to laugh at, and make them waste time following up on someone who isn't actually going to fall for it in the end.
