    Never did this. I am always very cautious when I receive emails from people I don’t know. Move them to the Junk mail. It is always better to help people directly.

    I always receive these emails, and when I first received them I was skeptical. There was a number so I called it and nothing happened. I was actually going to prank phone call them, just to be funny since I was younger when I first received one, but I couldn't unfortunately.

    I get a lot of spam too each day. I have shifted all my email to gmail and get only 1 - 2 spam emails in a day.

    I find them funny, I had one with really bad grammar, it said something like "I have $10,700,000 (nine million, five hundred thousand dollars)". :p

    I love the fake PayPal mails I receive regularly. I always take the time to reply with my not so appropriate language. Use your imagination to figure out how I reply to them. I get a kick out of it.

    Yes, yfs1! Everyone should check out that site

    This is a must read:

    http://www.419eater.com/html/ethics.htm

    This page explains a few things before you dig in. Basically, there's a new online sport called "scambaiting". A scambaiter replies to these emails, leads them on, wastes their time, and make the scammer jump through hoops, or just completely get on their nerves. :D

    The whole site is hilarious. I even did a scambait of my own that was only somewhat of a success, but I wasted their time for a couple of weeks. I'll probably put it on the web soon.

    Oh yeah, I orginally heard about this site here on DP from axemedia ;)

    Sometimes it is funny and sometimes damn irritative.
