Here's a refreshingly honest IM session between a 419 scammer and a savvy mark who's wise the game (This may be fake, don't care, still funny):
Mr Robert Dutu: Am Robert Dutu. I have very important business proposition for your consideration. Can we chat on it?
Mike Nash: Let me guess? You have millions of dollars you want to give me. But I won't get it. Instead, you will rip me off with advanced fee fraud.
MRD: You are right.
MN: Well, appreciate the honest.
MRD: You are welcome. Pleasure chatting with you.
MN: Good luck in finding an idiot.
MRD: Thanks man
(Thanks, Fipi Lele!)
