Is that the site where the guy gets them to hold up signs and balance fish on their heads in photos to prove their identity?

Don't send it to 419eater.com. He gets enough on his own. Check his terms:

Sending 419 scam emails you may have received
PLEASE PLEASE DON'T! This site has received many many thousands of 419 emails (at the last count, over 37,000), and regularly receive approximately 60-100 scam emails a day. Please do not send in any 419 emails you have received unless you have a good reason for doing so. If you receive a scam email and do not intend to try your hand at scambaiting then our advice is to delete the email and forget all about it. If you want to help more you can also contact the email provider from which the scam email originated, quoting the email in full and including the full email headers. For instance, if the scammer's email address is mr.scammer@yahoo.com then send a copy of the email to abuse@yahoo.com and the email account should be quickly closed down. Alternatively, post your scam email into our SURPLUS SCAM LETTERS FORUM for other scambaiters to take on.
PLEASE do not send us scam emails you may have received - they will just be deleted unless they are veryspecial cases.

You've gotta have some fun with this.

Why not string this guy along??? Make him do pointless things to prove his identity?

How about get him to send photo of himself holding aloft 'I AM A SCAMMER' on a board of some kind.

Waste these people's time...

Because they are f**k**' b**t**ds and deserve it

I've had loads like this but the one that made me laugh the most was written as if it was someone from Manchester! A bit different from all the one's that tend to originate from Africa, but basically the same scam.

ahem..........i`m from Manchester and my vocabulary is somewhat more impressive than that offering!

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

To parody Monty Python this is a

Scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam.

It is obvious from the first few lines that it is a classic 419.

If something looks too good to be true it is.

Delete, ignore and forget about it and anything similar.;)
