Jeff's right!

The best advice is to not answer their mail! But, I'm hard-headed, and wanted to play with them a little. I encouraged this one jerk, sending him bogus information, allowing him to think I was his next mark, until I finally got tired and sent him this:

[color:"purple"]"To whom it may concern:

I am a Federal Employee of the United States Government. This can be verified on several United States Government web sites! My e-mail accounts may be monitored by these organizations located in the United States:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) [fbi.gov]

The National Security Agency (NSA) [nsa.gov]

The Central Inteligence Agency (CIA) [cia.gov]

When e-mail crosses the borders into Europe/African Continent:

The International Crime Prevention Police (InterPol) [interpol.int]

Furthermore, I subscribe to several IP tracing services, such as http://www.pointofmail.com/ , and receive reports on who is sending me e-mail, and receiving my e-mail. It seems you move around a lot, but I was finally able to obtain a name and address, which does not match anything in your correspondence. (please note that by opening this e-mail, you have sent me a report on your current location!)

[color:"red"] Stop and desist this illegal activity, NOW! [/color]"[/color]

These guys are smart? Nope! This message actually works. I never hear any more from them!
