While looking over this site http://www.freemaninstitute.com/419admit.htm, I saw the letter that was sent to scammers to see what sort of response was to be had, and maybe (doubtful) to stop a few of them from scamming.

The other day, I got this standard ATM scam email:

So I replied with the letter from the freemaninstitute.com, just to give them the benefit of the the doubt and see what would happen. Here's what I got back. Not surprisingly, he and his board of Executive Directors are all shocked at my "unbelievable" statement and mistrust and are still trying to scam me!

We are surprised for your unbelievable statement to all the Honorable of this bank. So, I would advise you now to withdraw your statement of thought. I have more than 100 websites to give you to go through by adding unto website you forwarded for you to keep off from any letter you receive from the fraudsters, looking those to scam on their personal benefits because we advertises as "WARNING" Scam letters day by day on the internet with different Languages to avoid falling in the victim of scammers "Alias Known As 419ners Eaters".

First and foremost, I am Dr. Jerry O.M. Agugu, Chief Executive Director, Paymaster General of Atm Card Payment Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
As I received your letter as I am responding you, I tabled your letter sent to my other Executive Board of Directors and Governors, Central Bank of Nigeria. Everybody here is convinced and believed that the proposal letter sent to you by Dr. Andrew Patrick, Chief Auditor, Office of the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria is its selfgood explanatory to you as your reply through his directive shows all the CBN Executive Department Boards that you really mean business and serious to receive your payment being the contractual/ inheritance beneficiary.

Therefore, if you are serious and ready to receive your approved ATM Card Payment. Read my letter with care and comply immedaitely to receive your payment right now from my desk.
