You... don't?

I like to play with them. They always want personal information, which is readily available:

Name:
Mulder, Fox William
Date of Birth:
13th of October 1961
Birthplace:
Chilmark, Massachusetts
Address:
2630 Hegal Place,
Apartment No. 42,
Alexandria,
Virginia 23242
SSN:
123-32-1321

Then, after stringing them along for the ID, you give them the finale:

I've never heard from a one of 'em after that.

I send them word docs with bogus personal information,... all with a goatse watermark.

They might be doing it verify if you have a valid email address that has a human who reads all mail. So as soon as you reply, you will get more spam for genitalia enhancements.

That's what junk email accounts are for... and if you are really bored you can create one especially...

Don't forget to hide behind 7 proxies though.

I thought the new standard was 11.

They will ask for details needed to wire bank to bank funds for the "investment"
Unless you want to play along and create a special account; that should be the end of it.

Guessing that you will not actually give out your personal banking info.
