"You know, for a 419 scammer, you actually have rather respectable English and typing. I'm sure you'll see great (if immoral) success in your future." If only I had the patience to REALLY mess with them...

@scribus Trust me, messing with scammers is hilarious. Even better is out-trolling a troll.

@xtux345 I'm sure it is, and I would love to, but I just don't have the patience to wade through their horrible attempts at communication. :p

@scribus You can also put on a hilarious/confusing accent. It requires a fair amount of patience, but trust me, it's worth it.

@xtux345 I though about just copying various letters from H. P. Lovecraft stories and seeing how long they put up with me, but that's a LOT of typing and I'm not that bored (yet).

@scribus I've planned on either threatening them about tracking their call and reporting them Anonymous, or just using random clips of Granny Smith muttering.

@xtux345 Oh, mine are e-mail. Still, so much potential... I'm reading a really bizarre one right now, it's amazing the things people will do.

@scribus Hmmm... link them to Weird Al's "Stop Forwarding that Crap to Me". It'd be quite ironic of you to do so (given the message of the song), but it'd be quite funny to do so.

@xtux345 I considered MC Frontalot's "Message no. 419," about exactly the scam they were trying to pull. Maybe next time.

@scribus The only fun I get to have with that type is forwarding the e-mail from nigerian princes trying to get their money into the US to the canadians trying to sell cut-rate viagra, and vice-versa.

@colfax That is also an idea... Much like sending pizza coupons to credit card companies (which I never remember to do when I get those damned offers!).

@scribus I once send my first ever ISP payment in Monopoly money with a note telling them that's what their service warranted, and if they wanted real money they needed to provide real service.

@scribus Let's jsut say it eventually ended with the glass in their front door getting broken and the counter inside getting a couple feet snapped off the end...

@scribus Bear in mind that this was a dial-up ISP (that's all we had back in the day so hush, young'uns) that had the policy of dropping your connection every six hours whether you were idle or not.
Saturday, 14-Jan-12 02:49:06 UTC from web-
@colfax lol dialup

@scribus I made sure they didn't, I made sure the owner knew that I knew where he lived, they policy got changed eventually but by that time there were on the verge of going out of business.

@colfax The problem is that people forget they can tell companies to f...fly off if they don't like what they're getting. Then the companies pull more crap because they can get away with it. But, that's not ponies.

@scribus Let's just say that for the longest time I had massive amounts of free time and absolutely no moral compass whatsoever, that, coupled with a working knowledge of explosives, led to many an interesting adventure

@colfax And you're not sitting in a prison cell right now because...?
Saturday, 14-Jan-12 03:06:10 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Because I never got caught, and by now the statute of limitations has run out on most of what I did back then.

@colfax You sound like a completely peaceful guy that anyone would enjoy being around at all times.
Saturday, 14-Jan-12 02:48:56 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I have a very low tolerance for either idiots or bullpapayas, otherwise I'm quite easy to get along with, just don't be stupid and we're fine.
Saturday, 14-Jan-12 02:50:35 UTC from web-
@colfax I'd be miserable hanging out around you, then. :<

@redenchilada It's worse when I'm driving, I can make road rage into an artform.

@princesstwilight Among other things, aye, but the closest I ever got to missiles was a home-made ballista and flying a remote controlled rocket-powered guitar across Greenwood Lake.

@abigpony Well yeah, I was trying to steer the damn thing from a mile and a half away, the guy in the boat was right there...

@abigpony Bollocks, it went further than I planned, so as far as I'm concerned it was a success.
