Those Nigerian 419 scams and the like

Do any of you ever still occasionally get these? I rarely do but occasionally one will slip through. Do you delete them or do you try to string the guy along and see how far you can go with it?

 

I'm one of the folks that string them along and see if I can get a reply. I got one this morning is why I ask. I've replied to him and I'm waiting to see if I get a reply back to my answer to him. Hopefully the guy does reply and hilarity will ensue.

I got one recently, strung him along a bit and then turned the thread over to an FBI agent who is Day School parent.  He said these are tough but he will get it to the appropriate person.  Sadly I've had elderly church members victimized by these sorts of scams.

Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  Aldila  R flex   - 42.25 inches 

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Ping G410 7, 9 wood  Alta 65 R flex

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

Scams???  Those aren't real? Oh, heck, you mean I'm not getting 3 million dollars and my $5,000 is gone?

 

I actually know some guys who sent money 10-15 years ago, and things didn't work out for them. What a shock.

Oh wait, he did reply. And sent me a picture of his passport and his family... Both photoshopped. Time to dig deeper
