Everyone is aware of the e-mail scams from Nigerians giving away money. (known as 419 scams)... If I encounter car matchmakers when selling a car I try and waste their time by idly chatting to them, asking them to hold on while I search for my card, give them spurious details and then say the bank changed me card etc. My pleasure in winding them up is increased by knowing that their time is wasted on me and not spent ripping someone else off. - for inspiration see www.419eater.com Can I suggest a tactic to frustrate these scam artists?
