1. Just ignore the email

Like I do..

[Sarah Ibarruri]

2. I keep getting lots of crap like this too. I write them back ugly comments...

Aside from that, I have no idea what to do.

[Bobbieo]

4. If those assholes could write proper English, they might be taken seriously!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

3. Forward it all to Free Republic. Tell them in concerns Obama's

birth certificate!

They are stupid enough to bite and God bless them.

[Frosty1]

5. Forward it to

[e-mail]

[applegrove]

6. I've tried writing an angry email back to these african con men. I just ended up

getting the second con letter. They must mail out to tens of thousands of people at the same time.

[Bobbieo]

7. Thanks Frosty1 I have forwarded it to the spam people. This is

the first time I have ever received an actual threat sent directly to me. I bet these people can be very dangerous.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

8. "I bet these people can be very dangerous."

Hardly. The senders are pathetic losers sitting in a cybercafé in Lagos, Nigeria.

I always write back to these guys, stringing them along. At the same time, I forward their 419 spam to the FTC and to their email service provider (Yahoo, Live.com, etc.).

When I reply to the con artists, I send them "my" phone number. "My" phone number is that of the Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission. Yes, the spammers call the FTC and ask for "their" money.

One of the other answers here has given me an idea. Go to Google Images and find a copy of Obama's birth certificate. Send that as an attachment to your pals in Nigeria and tell them that is your ID. Ask them if it's acceptable to send payment via Western Union. Sit back and wait.

If you think of these idiots as a source of amusement, you'll look forward to their spam.

The joke's on them.

[Bobbieo]

10. I was a fan of "Shiver Me Timbers" who is the No 1 antidote to

the Nigerian scammers. He really knows how to scam them and actially get money out of them. He advises using discretion when dealing with them.

[applegrove]

9. You didn't attach to Frosty. I doubt the conmen doing this are very dangerous. Just annoying.

Dangerous psychopaths are a different beast entirely.

[Euromutt]

11. Forward it to the Secret Service

They have a special e-mail address: [e-mail]

But DO please add the phrase "NO LOSS" in both the subject line and the body of your e-mail if you haven't suffered any financial loss.

[Skeeve]

12. I respond to each and every one...

by forwarding them to "abuse@" of any email addresses contained in the email.

By ignoring/deleting these, you're not helping the problem.

I've received numerous replies from companies and website hosts informing me that their accounts have been deleted, making it just a little more difficult for them to continue.

It's not the best solution, but it sure makes you feel better knowing they've lost another spam account.
