Tell him you're very interested and love making money.
Then ask him if you need to invest anything. and say you don't want to invest in 150k max.

ask him to send you a prospectus. when he asks for money, get his mailing address and send him a baggie full of ka ka. then follow up with an email, and if he is unhappy, ask him what seems to be the problem.

Dear Mr Alasan Kabore,
I have read over your email, and am very interested in your proposition. Having many property and buisness investments, i am always looking to make a little extra money.
I would like to propose to you that i fly you out to Australia so we can further discuss this matter.

Make him send a picture to you of him with an orange in his ear or something goofy like that. You can convince him it's a show of his sincerity.

I dunno if that's where these guys I heard were from or not, but I was listening to NPR and they did some pretty fucked up things to this one scammer, baiting him into going to Sudan and basically living on the streets for three weeks waiting for money from this fake church these guys made up. They even told him his mother died while he was gone and shit, it was pretty bad but hey you gotta scam the scammers to teach them a lesson I guess.

AHAHAHAH that's great! I ran into a scammer of my own and I kept telling him I was in a submarine under the ocean until he left me alone. When I finally gave him the Western Union MTCN, I spelled it out for him S-C-A-M-M-E-R. I told him to suck a dick and die.
That site it awesome though... I just spent the last 20 minutes reading about a guy who turned it around on a scammer and made him send an audio recording of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And he did it too! I'm going to spend a long time on this site.

You know, I actually participated in one of these scams. You know the 2500 dollars one. Well I posted on craigslist about a product I had and a scammer came along and sent me a 2500 real check. Well I knew that it was a scam, but my bank deposited it and let me withdraw it. I had every intension of paying it back, possibly, if they caught it. They did, and let me say that since that happened, it wasn't that bad of an idea. My bank didn't even charge me interest, just a 35 dollar bad check. So the way I look at it, I got a very very low interest loan.
Now, if you can't afford it, don't participate in it, also if your bank hits you with enormous fees, then don't either.

Therefore, the bank will always abide by my official directions through the official authorization bestowed on me.And for this reasons you have nothing to fear as your interest and identity will be legally protected. THIS ARE THE DETAILS I NEED FROM YOU BEFORE WE PROCEED. (A) Your fax number and real telephone number. (B) Your marital position. and your home and office address (C) Your profession (D) You should promise me of your capability in handling this transaction with utmost confidence and honesty.

I Re-assured you that every information concerning the deceased bank customer is under my control, so you have nothing to be afraid of, all I need from you is your utmost honesty towards this transaction and to keep this transaction as top secret until the fund hit your bank account. As soon as I hear from you with all the above mentioned details, I will send to you the text of application which you are going to fill and send to the bank for the commencement of the transaction. you can contact me through this my private email. this is 100% risk free, my phone number is (+226 78 08 98 99) Regards MR Alasan
