Google for 419 Eater, unwilling to post link.
Must say I am bored in the office today looked at this site. Half an hour to spare try reading some of the letters its great fun reading them.

[quote=Raistlin;34522955]There is a small problem with sending these things back.


"You should also realise that most of these emails have an identifier buried in them. This means that, in the unlikely even that you do send one back to the address that it actually originated from, they can use the identifier to work out which email address they originally sent the spam to. This means that, regardless of the fact that you've used a '3rd party' email address to send your reply, they still now know that the original address was a valid one - so you'll just end up with more junk. "

Sorry I am sure you are right ( what do I know) But they have never come back to me. & the same one has never come to me twice. I had password requests from must UK banks at or time or another, some lottery wins & of cause tonnes of gold trapped,But as to a reply nothing
