And have you done anything to fight it or report it? I am making some fun out of these now. I am giving them fake into and leading them on a trail for days and making sure that I am wasting there time as much as they are mine!

I get actual handwritten letters from people there in the mail.
I think they get phone books and try to scam small businesses.
No idea how they got company name or addy, its those envelopes with red , white , and blue trim and poorly written or typed english
I feel like decapitating those guys while their entire family watches, really !

Haha. The funniest part of the scam is that I don't think Nigeria has 11 million dollars total. People who fall for that crap deserve what they get. The paypal scams are sort of a different story, because some of them are very well done and look almost legit.

I reply with a letter that states they have sent this e-mail to a field reporting agent of the FBI...
I have had no/none/zero more of those things hit my mailbox.
Now if I can just get the Penis people to either make me a model, or quit with the spam already...

You know my dad actually followed through on of them. He created a seperate bank account with $2 and went ahead with all this. Eventually he got an email stating his bank account balance was too low and that he needed a minimum balance of like $2k.
