There was a funny program on America's National Public Radio a couple of years ago (the show is This American Life, which is podcast).  The episode looked at a group of guys who took revenge on the scammers by pretending to be businessmen or missionaries interested in establishing themselves in whatever country the scammer was in (in these instances Nigeria).  They would waste months of the scammers' time sending him all over the place in order to teach him a lesson.

I would consider it... if I had time on my hands...;-p

It would mean opening a new email address, probably skype or MSN and faking an entire profile....

Seriously though, i have better things to do with the little time I do have for recreation!!!!

Because your reply to them by some mean such as QL or email might allowed them to steal all your data and files.

Even straight arrows get it, osama. It's an organization, not an individual, and they select addresses randomly worldwide.
