I got one of those "millions for you if you help me" mails

Re: I got one of those "millions for you if you help me" mails

Dateline NBC did a two part series on the 419 scam by playing along and transferring smaller money amounts just so they could get to the source.

Why waste time with them... just update your spam filters when you receive a new one - otherwise, just one reply will not dissuade them from their ways. The SRB (Spammers Rule of Business) as its termed sometimes is that even if 0.1% response rate and $10 of income per response, they can generate $50K with just 5M emails.

They don't really care if a few people are trying to get them to stop.
