Actually I’ve heard replying to those messages is the wrong thing to do as you’ve just told them that they have reached a legitimate address. I prefer to delete them, once I’ve posted about them so as to warn others.

I’ve get the same message from Patrick Chan few weeks ago. I’ve reply to him in some messages like “I’m very interested in your proposal… I’ll help you to provide this transaction… blah…blah…blah…”.
He wrote me many of e-mails. When he ask me to provide some info about me I’ve send a message with attached picture. On the picture there was a big black guy with a big… hmm… let’s say third leg. and wrote him “You will get THIS but not my money.” I did it just for lulz :)) and I always reply to similar messages to have some fun. And recommend it to YOU ;)

Hi, thanks for this posting. Actually I’ve received email like this today from someone who called Mr. Patrick K. W. Chan. So, now I just know that this is an email scam and I must be careful and just delete this.

Actually Laura I have been told the very same thing. By answering you are confirming that they have an actual email address that works, and that makes them very happy, because like you said, they now have a confirmed target.

I have been told never to reply to these kinds of emails, even if you are making fun of them, because you will then be added to the mailing lists and you will get a lot more scam emails

I've worked once for Yahoo! and they have a department that takes care of it (especially if the domain name is yahoo). They automatically delete the account once you report the user and it was proven by their team that the user is a scammer. Anyhoo, I think it's ok to reply to the email as long as you don't click on any links that's in the email message itself and of course as long as you don't follow their dumb*ss insructions. LOL. :D vikkis last blog post..It’s WAH-nderful to Work At Home!
