I guess some people are just more persistent than others, i certainly couldnt be bothered to write so many emails with such a little gain, in the end you've wasted as much time on this as the scammer. I can certainly understand the scammer spending so much time trying to convince you because his profit depends on the outcome, but sadly there isnt much in it for you except lost time which you can never gain back!
Those *******s no doubt rely on quantity rather that quality of emails so they probably get their money from some naive soul in the end anyway.

I've asked him to call me on a landline phone, making sure the number is not withheld, and if anyone wants to view I intend to meet them a couple of miles away in the local Police station car park before returning to my home address.
