THe problem is by replying they (the spammers) will know that the email account is live, so you could find yourself getting a whole load more rubbish through.

Yes, that's very true, If I was going to send something sarky back I certainly wouldn't reply from my regular account! It's all probably automated anyway

Still if anyone wants to give it a go, here's the culprits address:

st_briggs3@latinmail.com

Whoa ha, ha, ha!!

Had exactly the same thing, although a different name.

So i replied, he repled back...asked him to prove he was genuine, so he even sent me a scan of hi passport..

Quite funny really.

Have a look at 419eater.com to see how well people wind up the muppets who send this sort of stuff ( not safe for work though with some of the pics ! )
