Default TOT an interesting business proposal

I quote:

Dear Sir,

We are a consulting firm based in Accra, Ghana West Africa, our main
objective is to help the Government in Africa revamp and re-activate
most of his parasitical which are performing below average into full
recovery.

(end of quote)

It continues in similar vein. They'd like us to supply them with bullet
proof vests, amongst other things. I'm sure I could knock something up.

Shall I respond?

Just standard spam. Some people do have fun baiting these scammers,
but it's a lot of effort for little reward.

I must say it never occurred to me that anyone ever does respond to
these things, except the occasional mug of course.

I wouldn't waste my time baiting the spammers. I've got my hands full
baiting people in this newsgroup.

I remember seeing the results on the TV year ago when someone managed
to get a spammer to fly all the way from Nigeria to London. All the
spammer got was an amused film crew!
