That must've been fun! I'm tempted but don't know if I want to spend that much time on this -- I'm glad this guy did, though!

For a slight change, we have a scammer trying to ply his trade via a different routine. This time it's a repentant dying man, wanting to distribute his millions to charity. Of course, were someone to reply to this email wanting to help, the victim would have course pay fictitious "fees" to a fake barrister that the scammer would hire to handle the cash transfer.
We've had carvings and artwork from scammers on quite a few occasions now, and I think it's time to move on to other ways to cause misery for these thieves, so for my final attempt at getting artwork out of a scammer I'll try for something a little different.
It all starts way back near the end of July 2006...
Hilarity at link.....

Found this in your history; it was a hoot. Thanks twice.

(Too bad that LBN thread about the ABC story got locked. I hope it's being reposted elsewhere.)
