[quote="Sylv"]I once had a similar email exchange with a scammer, kept me entertained for a couple weeks, it was fun to try and get them annoyed at you and think you'd baited. Wish I'd kept the emails, actually i might have printed them somewhere
Over the Christmas/New Year period, BBC Radio 4 ran "The Bob Servant Emails".
"Bob Servant is retired and a little bit bored. When he starts getting spam emails, he decides to play the fraudsters at their own game and soon has them in the palm of his hand."
I heard 3 episodes and they were very entertaining. They have just started being broadcast again:

Enjoy if you can - I expect it should be on i-player
