Would it be so wrong to mail bomb these scammers so as to pollute their inboxes, so they can't discern real responses from junk ones?

Wouldn't that cripple them?, until they signed up for a new email account, which when I get that email, I'll start spamming you there too!

Welcome MM. Be sure to read the stickies, ask questions, and request a mentor [url] http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16765

Mail bombs would not be the best way to deal with these vermine because they always have multiple e-mail accounts, so they will get the garbage out there. So there is not much damage. Now, on the other hand, bait them, wasting hours of their time, send them down to the Western Union to wait for hours of funds that never arrive ---- that causes some damage on their end.

All they would do is switch boxes. Don't bother wasting yout time. Remember, let the lads do all of the work.

Hey TS, not to be a nagging idiot but you might want to check your siggy...409?

If I remember correctly, 409 is a related crime, I think it's the date scams.

I stand corrected Embarassed

No need for the Embarassed

I'm actually making fun of something that was said elsewhere. Laughing

I'll make it more clear in my sig. Wink

When in doubt, it's best to question TS -- preferably by multiple PMs -- he loves that sort of thing.

Nope - although it may apply to certain scams...

Code:

409. Any person who, with intent to defraud, and by means of any unlawful violence to, or restraint of, the person of another, or by means of any threat of violence or restraint to be used to the person of another, or by means of accusing or threatening to accuse any person of committing any felony or misdemeanour, or by offering or making any solicitation or threat to any person as an inducement to commit or permit the commission of any offence, compels or induces any person-

(a) to execute, make, accept, endorse, alter, or destroy, the whole or any part of any valuable security; or

(b) to write, impress or affix, any name or seal upon or to any paper or parchment, in order that it may be afterwards made or converted into or used or dealt with as a valuable security;

is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for fourteen years.

Fascinating read, the Nigerian Criminal Code - According to my reckoning, a death threat from Charles Soludo during an advance fee fraud is worth 17 years.
