I just got this PM on a forum I visit. This is the first time I have been approached by a scammer and after reading some of those stories about guys screwing with them I'm keen to have some fun with this turd.

Dearest One

I am writting this letter with due respect and heartful of tears since we have not known or met ourselves previously I am asking for your assistance after I have gone through a profile that speaks good of you. I want to find out if it's possible for you to deal with individual as to investment.I came across your profile and I feel it's highly reputable that is why I pick an interest getting across to you in respect of investment at my disposal. I will be so glad if you can allow me and lead me to the right channel towards your assistance to my situation now.I will make my proposal well known if I am given the opportunity. I would like to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you. Well I am SANDRA TESSY HARRY 22Years Old Lady from Liberia,the only daughter of COL RUBEN WILLFRED HARRY My father is now late,he died during the last crisis in my country(Liberia). He was one of the high officers in the leadership of former president Charles Taylor who is now in exile after many innocent soul were killed,My father was unlucky to be among those that was killed by the rebel. The main reason why I am contacting you now is to seek your assistance in the area of my future investment and also for a help hand over some huge amount of money in my possession. This money (US4.6 Million dollars)is deposited in a prime bank outside my country in cote d?ivoire some years ago by my father he made me the sole beneficiary.I am now asking you to stand on my behalf,to stand as my partner and in time of the claim and investment as well. I have made up my mind to offer you 13%of the total money while the remaining will go into a productive investment. As I have mention earlier I will make the procedure to this issue to be well know to you,if I am given the opportunity to do so. Pls attach your direct and full information as you reply to me. You can also contact me with this email xxxxx@yahoo.com
Thanks and remain bless.
Best Regards
SandraHarry

So the first thing I need to do is start a new email account so mine doesn't get flooded with scammer emails. Any ideas on what I should do to this asshole?

Send them an e-mail saying you've traced their location and called the local authorities.

Just do the easy, but fun thing. Ask for a shipping label and ship some junk that is heavy and declare a high value of it. :)

ftw. who really cares...anything you do to a scammer is not going to deter them, and just waste more of your own time...

Don't these scammers realize that sob story has been used a million times and beaten to death a million more?

Send a message back in a large bold red font "I'M NOT STUPID N00B" and see if you get a response

You're right. Let's just let them continue to screw people over. :roll:

Some cold hard truth: there is nothing you personally can do to stop even a single scammer. Nothing. Nothing at all.
