I reported this to my local FBI office. The agent I spoke with got a good laugh and asked me to send it over. He did warn me that the Nigerians are now embedding Zombie-bots in messages that camp out on you computer looking for banking info and then cleaning out your account.

My best scam e-mail was a variation of the old Nigerian scam, but sent in French from the Cote de Ivoire.

Visit this link and see how others have gotten revenge and few good laughs at the expense of the scammers:
Scambaiter
I don't recommend you try to bait the scammers yourself unless you absolutely, positively know how to conceal your real identity and location. The scammers have no sense of humor and some are downright dangerous. Enjoy.

Gee, I would have thought the reason the Nigerians would be impersonating FBI agents is because the misspellings and poor grammar would be consistent with FBI agents.
I guess there is no honor among thieves.

I got one supposedly from the IRS stating that I was due a refund of $600.31, and to “click here” to apply for it. It came from support@online.irs.net.
Of course, I deleted it, but it looked real as heck, even had the logo.
