Just reply:

Dear Mr Jeans,
Thank you for your E-Mail.

I am unable to conduct an international call, please call me at (703) 482-0623, with the national code for the US being 001. I am available .....


Scratch that, here's what I found when I looked up the number and kept on reading to find the business hours:

Quote from: https://www.cia.gov/contact-cia/index.html
Solicitations to transfer large sums of money to your bank account: If you receive a solicitation to transfer a large amount of money from an African nation to your bank account in exchange for a payment of millions of dollars, go to the US Secret Service Web site for information about the Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud or "4-1-9" Fraud scheme.

Therefore:

Quote from: http://www.secretservice.gov/criminal.shtml
Advance Fee Fraud- The perpetrators of advance fee fraud, known internationally as "4-1-9 fraud" (after the section of the Nigerian penal code which addresses these schemes), are often very creative and innovative. A large number of victims are enticed into believing they have been singled out from the masses to share in multi-million dollar windfall profits for no apparent reason.

If you have received an e-mail or fax from someone you do not know requesting your assistance in a financial transaction, such as the transfer of a large sum of money into an account, or claiming you are the next of kin to an wealthy person who has died, or the winner of some obscure lottery, DO NOT respond. These requests are typically sent through public servers via a generic "spammed" e-mail message. Usually, the sender does not yet know your personal e-mail address and is depending on you to respond. Once you reply, whether you intend to string them along or tell them you are not interested, they will often continue to e-mail you in an attempt to harass or intimidate you. If you receive an unsolicited e-mail of this nature, the best course is to simply delete the message.

Due to a number of aggravating circumstances -- the use of false names, addresses, stolen/cloned/prepaid cell phones and remote e-mail addresses -- verifying the location of and subsequent prosecution of these persons or groups is difficult. The act of sending an e-mail soliciting your assistance in a financial transaction is not a crime in itself. The installation of a credible spam filter and contacting your Internet Service Provider may help deter these unsolicited e-mails. However, there is currently no available program to completely block these types of messages.

If you have suffered a significant financial loss related to advance fee fraud, please contact your local Secret Service field office. Telephone numbers are available in the Field Office Directory on this website or may also be found on the inside cover of your local telephone directory. Any investigation regarding this type of fraud will be conducted on a case by case basis at the discretion of the local Secret Service office and U.S. Attorney's Office.

Hope it helps... :p

Um, yeah...I'm gonna say we don't allow nip-slips, S-99.
Title: Re: How should we screw with this scammer?
Post by: S-99 on January 16, 2012, 09:09:48 pm
There was no nip-slips. You just got rid of it because you don't care to see it. We don't need to beat around the bush on this.

It's not pleasant on the eyes as it was meant to be and as other people's reactions show. Perfect for sending to a scammer.

you guys are seriously deluding yourselves if you believe any of this kind of crap will bother scammers at all.

There was visible female nipple happening there.  No matter what the age, or your own comfort level with said exposure, that's a clear-cut violation of what's appropriate to post on HLP.  Period.

Upon second inspection it does barely have a nip slip that got past me. I would have edited that out before i posted that, if it had been more readily apparent since the nips are almost covered up all the way (the dude's right hand doesn't do enough covering justice).

It was not my intention to post something like that on hlp. Sorry for that. But, my last response was not about trying to get away with anything. Like sarcasm and cynicism, being clueless and mistaken does not always translate over the internet.
you guys are seriously deluding yourselves if you believe any of this kind of crap will bother scammers at all.
In this case it's just to **** with them. They bothered with me through a waste of their time sending me trash. I feel enthused enough to bother them through a waste of my own with something similarly ultimately temporary. But something which at least got artistic appreciation for being disgusting, creepy, and eye gouging. And, well, it definitely is a different avenue for ****ing with scammers.
