  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. You can click on the page numbers now.

Dear Lucy Ricardo
I received your last mail. I have decided to look for someone else that is seriouse to conclude the transaction with me, but based on the fact that i cannot locate someone with the same surname i decided to send my picture to you as you requested.
I have giving you enough prove to trust me but it seems your not ready to provide the necessary informations needed for us to proceed with the transaction.
I will like you to send your picture too to enable me trust you before we proceed.
Attached is my picture
Thanks
Barrister Modestus Iba

Thank you for sending your photo.It is a very charming picture of you. I must tell you that the money isn't so important to me......I am very well off. I can very easily travel to Nigeria to conduct our business in person. I think we can work this to our mutual advantage. I am sending two photos of myself. I hope you like them.
Take care. :)
Lucy.
