    You guys! It’s brilliant. I am so frustrated that they didn’t phone yesterday. I had a good one worked out. It wouldn’t have wasted their time, but it would’ve freaked them and made them hang up on me. I was planning to answer the call with, “Humberside Fraud Department, how can I help you?”

  • @KJ1986 @Blulu It is so much fun isn't it. I kept all my emails and it has been fun reading them again after seeing this post. Did you know there is a forum and website full of posts where people have baited scammers. It can be fun to read through some of them. Just google 419 eater if you want to have a look.

    Ooh, now you've gone and done it. I love it. I've just had a quick peek at the site - the letters look like a great starting place. I also searched on FB and found their FB group. I am definitely joining: https://www.facebook.com/groups/116767757730

    Scambaiting? I might have to send my new phone back when it arrives. I don't want to stop the scammers now, I want to bait them - and it's ALL your fault 😝😝😝 (Well, both of you really 😁)

    Edit: although it looks like the FB group has not had any posts for a couple of years. I've asked if the group is still active and my post is pending approval.
