I don't advocate messing with the scammers but I am sure it had to be a "hoot" to play with them.They can be dangerous in that they have your home address and love to threaten when the money pot gets rattled.

On some of the anti-scammer forums I belong to, keeping the scammers "busy" is a great idea....because if they are "busy" with you, they aren't going to have as much time to mess with someone else.

Shame to the scammers that read this board. It's not like 10 years ago, the technology that scammers helped rip off people, is the same technology that is NOW allowing potential victims to get information to STOP a scam before they get scr*ewed.

Looks like the scammers will have to get a "real" job.

OP, if you are interested, there are plenty of sights where they mess with scammers FULL TIME, in hopes to "slow them down" on wild goose chases...

Google a few...
