Pouatchee Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Do as the God of anti-scammers does... just reply "OK" to every message she sends you. Nothing more, nothing less. Or be one of those 'there's one born every minute' guys. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately expect some actually would - so removal was a good idea. They will have to PM OP for a cut of the action.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were very common about 15 years ago Very much so but if using major email service believe most are removed automatically so only get one or two a month. India has become the new scam center and they use hacks to get people to call them - but they are just as big a danger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat is a type of crazy Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I got quite into watching the videos where they get the indian scammers back - more light hearted posters like kitboga, to ownage pranks to scammer payback to the more serious ones where they are a bit more computer literate like scambaiter and Jim Browning. A few of these hit the spot sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with the Ponzi brokers and Indian phone scammers the scum of the earth (my opinion only - but of the age targeted). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made that mistake to something about a parcel needing to be paid for ( I was waiting for a parcel co incidentally, so thought it about that ). I never had need of scrap paper after as I got so many scam letters. PS I didn't pay anything as I got the post office to check the sender's address which turned out to be a closed factory in Europe.
