Does anyone here scambait ever? Scambating is purposely responding to scam emails for the sake of waisting their time and tricking them into sending you embarrassing pics. I told the scammers that to prove to me that they were real, they had to send me a pic of themselves holding my girlfriend's name: "Ima Doosh". For female scammers, I said my gf's name was "Ima Kunt". So far, all the scammers have been trying to work around it. Too bad. But at least I am waisting their time and frustrating them. Try it. It's fun!

Replying to scam emails gives them your IP address for attacks and verifies your email address for more spam. Bad idea.

Scambaiting is probably my favourite form of vigilantism! I don't partake in it myself but always enjoy watching other people's results (well, actually I could have done without seeing that one picture of a scammer conned into giving his pal a blow job...that wasn't pleasant!)
