The international hitman
I used to rather enjoy responding to spam emails and seeing how long I could keep the spammer going in their efforts to get money out of me. One of my favourites was a spam email telling me that someone had paid a hitman to kill me. Luckily, the hitman took pity on me, and would spare me if I paid him more than the person that took out the contract.

I won;t post it all here as it's well over 3,000 words and I might break the internet, but you can read it at:

Go to the bottom and read the posts in reverse order to see the story unfold in all its magnitude. Highlights include haggling down from £4,000 to £2,000 due to confusion over exchange rates, and sending a blurred western union scan that had the stupid shit downloading it in different internet cafes.

Kept me interested for a while - I did some replies to the russian bride emails you get too, which you can find on the same site.

I figure every minute they are being wound up by me is a minute they can't spend stealing some vulnerable person's life savings...
