Like everyone else with email,I get my share of "Nigerian scams" .After I received a recent scam email I decided to play along to see if I could scam the scammer. What follows are actual email exchanges between one such scammer and myself.I've copied his emails as is; I've x-ed out my email address on this page for obvious reasons. Otherwise, what you are reading is accurate. This is an on-going series and I'll keep this updated when I receive more emails from this particular scammer.I've also recently changed the format to make it easier to keep track.
