Christ on a bike, he bangs on a bit! But its nice to see he is willing to hear from you today.

You can report him to his ISP, But if they are using Hotmail/Yahoo etc they will just move onto another account.

If you have the time and effort and really want to piss him off, It can be quite rewarding, see www.419eater.com

The trash?.....:-)

After Paul's recent challenge, I actually baited one of these low lifes last week and sent a friendly reply with an offer and price. I was actually looking forward to the reply, meanwhile devising a plot to get him to provide a photo with a straw hat, but alas, I'm still waiting......

Joanna,

I have tried playing Paul's game once or twice - giving a very friendly, keen and welcoming response. Trouble is, as soon as I apologised for being able to accept cash only (I lied) things went totally silent.

Joanna,

They are getting very shy on the photo front ( well original ones anyway.) I think it's because most of the real ones end up on gay pick-up web sites after the bait is over....and they seem to get a bit annoyed with this...don't understand why myself but hey, there you go.

Alan,

When a mugu is in sight. send him on safari as far away from his home town as you can! Tell him that your brother works in a Western Union office and he will make sure the transaction runs very smoothly for all concerned......and oops, after the lad has a couple of hundred miles under his belt, it just happened to be your brother's day off

This just arrived a few minutes ago....it's not rental related, so maybe disqualifies, but it would be so cool to make this one work. Suggested replies?

Joanna,

Your mail box is blessed with a such bait :shock: It is your duty to take this lad as far up the garden path as possible. As I said with Alan maybe this lad would like a little safari.......keep us in the loop.
