That was hilarious. Took me about half an hour to read it!! So they never heard from the scammer in the end then?

The pictures and stuff crack you up its great.

The amount of people that helped this guy out is phenomenal - they had people in other countries spy from public places to look out for fedex vans and stuff!!

I thought you all had read it - i think i found out about it here...

Well beats my bombarding a recent scammer who was after money, i passed their details onto a friend who works for a database company who included the guys email on every database they run. They would have got 5k of emails within a week After all dont get angry get even, much more fun!!

Yep, it's around here somewhere, probably in the archives.

I had a weird thing recently. I kept getting emails from a group of guys in England. They all seemed to be friends and it was just discussions they were having about nights out etc but it was annoying cause they were getting through my spam filter and filling my inbox with conversations i wasnt interested in. I emailed one of the guys to ask him if he could take me off the mailing list and he sent one back saying "no"!! So i asked him politely again and he just ignored me so i just took his email address (it was a work email address) and signed him up for some pretty dodgy sounding news letters and sites. Not heard from them for a while now actually.

Dont get angry, get even, much more fun that way
I kept getting junk from someone trying to sell me some selling scam, they even included their address & phone number, so i signed them up for as much crap as possible
