I get a ton of these to my Yahoo account and I reply to everyone of them with the same message:

F*UCK OFF SCUMBAG!

I have actually received some replies with things like "God bless you." or "You will be in my prayers."

This scam has been around for a while.

FYI guys - I hate to sound like a lecture giver (lol) but the worst thing you can do with spam is REPLY back to them (unless you like more spam). All it does is show them your email is vailid and it will explode with more spam. Just an FYI

I have heard this but I have replied to every one of these spam messages from Africa and after a few months, they have now almost stopped. I don't think they liked what I had to say, lol.

Great information Dr. Jack! I never have and will never respond to spam. If you do it just opens the door up to more and more spam.
