I went to this site and started reading and nearly fell off the couch. These guys (scambaiters) are good at what they do. Some funny stuff. Thanks for posting. 
I absolutely hate you for posting this, No I don't but I just spent literally 2 hours dozing off and waking up desperately trying to finish reading this, I wanted to go to bed at 1:30 it is now almost 4:00am.
This was by far the absolute best stuff I've read on the Internet. Lmfao wow.
I can't wait to show other people this is too much.
Lol thank you for posting, this made my week complete. Props to you nothing beats this or even comes close.

But I'm with 1S1H, I just thought hey, I'll hit up some TBOT, have a smoke, and go to bed.
:Looks at clock:
Whaaaaaa?!?!?!?!

I used to do this for fun. I had 4 different email accounts set up for it--each a different rich-and-generous personality. Scammers bite hard if you put on the air of helpful-older-new-internet-user.
I never really had the patience to carry on day-to-day correspondence with these people though, so I never got anything good. Then Google locked my accounts due to "suspicious activity."
My favorite from that site is one where a scambaiter gets a scammer to go to a Kenyan national park with a fake map which had "locations" of nests of an often-poached and endangered species of bird.

Wasn't there a couple a people a few years back who strayed some scammers along for a few years, and even had them traveling to dangerous foriegn countries trying to get money?
