Scambaiting – Replying to a Scam Email Just for Fun

The other day, I received a scam email. Well, let’s face it, I receive scam emails every day. But just for fun, I decided to reply to this particular email — a practice known as scambaiting — where I pretend to be an innocent victim in order to waste the scammer’s time and resources. This particular email was sent from a one Michael J. Weirsky claiming to offer me a donation of $1,000,000. Michael actually had won a New Jersey lottery, but clearly the scammers were just using his details in their ruse. I replied expressing my enthusiasm and asking them how to claim the $1 million. Michael said that I just had to send him some basic info (all of which I made up). He then said I had to contact his personal banker with quoting a unique donation code. To make things a little bit interesting, I changed some of the details from my original message just to see if the bank would notice if I provided the correct details or not. The banker told me that I must obtain a signed affidavit of claim to donation from the district attorney's office here in the US”. I contacted the attorney stating that I was in the outback of Australia, so couldn't physically sign anything if that's what they needed. But they replied that they just needed a few minor details, one notable exception being that they needed a copy of my ID . Well, that simply wasn’t gong to happen, and I wasn't prepared to make a fake ID, so I decided to mix things up a little. To cut a long story short, after sending them some blurred copies of my passport, the scammers started to get a bit frustrated. I called them out on their scamming and they never replied to me again. • Greats Deals and Sales on eBay ▶ https://ebay.us/OW9tBB • #scambaiting #scambaiter #scammer
