Submit: Submit
How come these scammers are always moving to South Africa? Anyway, it never hurts to reply, and name an absurd price. The scammer will then immediately overnight a check well in excess of that amount. The check is a fake, but it is always cool to add to your souvenir collection. Plus, it costs the scammers money to do this, and if we can band together and cost them more money than they can scam, we might help eradicate this blight.
