The words "bad idea" come to mind. So in conclusion, email him gay porn and laugh about it.

Scare him by saying you work for an anti-email scam organization and threaten him with prison.

Set up various email accounts, tell him you're on the run from the FBI and can't use the same account for too long, and can he contact you at ___? See how long he keeps emailing your new account.

Give him a fake name, but a real phone number. Keep playing until he gives you some real information you can **** with about.

As if the fact that it's from South Africa wasn't indication enough of it's scaminess.

I'm with Ryner's suggestion.

Or reporting it to Dateline so they can do another "To catch a Scam Artist" special.

Re: Lets take part in an e-mail bank scam.

I woulda been like "Yeah, well you and your e-mail scam can kiss 25% of my butt!"

I talked to these guys before to se how far theyd go, we got as far as him wanting me to fill out a check for $5,000 so he could "finish up some business" and promised "you'll get it back when the transaction is completed."
