Compromise, hell! ... If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?

Yup, the best you can do is just bait them along and screw with them as long as possible. At least you will be wasting their time and preventing them from using that time to scam anyone else while they play email tag with you. Sadly, it is a waste of time to report most of these as they operate in places like Nigeria. They must get a lot of suckers cause they never seem to 'go out of business.'

This is a not safe for work (maybe home too) ebolamonkeyman.com
One guy and his revenge on the Nigerian scammers, hilarious if you have a few hours to kill reading some of his correspondences.

You should go sign that address up for every free hunt giveaway, especially buckmasters. Or any other place it will fill his inbox with junk mail!

Porn sites might get him a virus.

Just got a text from "smithevans009". Hi this is Marcus,do u still have puppy for sale,if so i will like you to email me the price and picture of the puppy [email protected].

They are sticking with "Smith" because it's a nice whitey sounding name. Nobody from Nigeria here....huh....uh. The price is also cleary displayed but yet they still need to ask?? Too bad they can't even write the language let alone speak it. Pieces of $ht. The text number is 1111440602 which looks totally legit. :0)

So there is no way to find out who owns the e-mail addresses or the cellphone the text come from. That sucks.
I know they can have a prepaid cell and stuff,BUT the phone number still should have a history of who it belongs to, If not they should start requiring it from the stores selling the prepaided phones(copy of DR Lic).
