Anyone else into scambaiting?
For those unfamiliar with the term, scambaiting is responding to the "419" scams (typically they offer a great deal of money, but first need some of your own money) in such a way as to sound as if you're interested, but instead (they're fully oblivious to it, but) you're playing them, by just wasting their time.
Aaaaaaanyways, I just started scambaiting, and I think it's kinda fun. Anyone else here scambait?

Re: Anyone else into scambaiting?
oh, I did that a couple of times but didn't knew that there was a term for it
I once was a lovely young lady that inherited after the death of my beloved husband
it really took 7 emails until that idiot realized that I was fooling him

Re: Anyone else into scambaiting?
the first one i ever read was pretty good, but then the second "story", if you will, was sooooooo hysterical. there were actually 3 people baiting the scammer, and the way they did it was perfect! they managed to keep the guy going for almost 6 months! i got my first chain started today, hope to keep it going till the new year. i think i might have him for a small bit, one guy sent the initial email, and then another guy has been doing the communication, so im tiptoeing around handing out info, saying that im concerned about the first guy, since he stopped emails

My absolutely favorite payback scam. If you haven't seen it already, well worth a look:
