These scam attempts used to annoy me, but ever since would be scam victims started chronicling their attempts at revenge, its likely that these scammers are having more harm done to them then they are doing. Now that the collective western internet population is getting back at them, I just find these emails funny. And when I say "getting back at them" I really mean getting back at them. A short while ago I received this in my inbox...
