He didn't even actually ask for money. Wtf?

[Cthulhu]

Maybe he's getting to that, or hoping Umiman will try to come over there so they can kidnap and ransom?

Imbed a small camera in your skull and go over there and get kidnapped, Umiman.   We'll photoshop funny things onto their faces.

Usually when a prospective mark answers, they get into what exactly they require in the second email. Can't scare 'em off too quickly.

 And it is not terribly hard to imagine what the next E-mail would contain. Most likely along the lines of "The hotel manager asks for 12,000 USD. Help!"

hehe. this reminds me of a book i read recently. The Good, The Spam, And The Ugly. it was a collection of email conversations with spammers and some guys made up alter egos. his alter egos include: Barney Rubble, Adolf Hitler, the yogi, Max Baer (Yogi Baer) and fake accounts of spammers that have contacted him in the past that try to stop the spammers from communicating with his alter egos. one involved barney rubble attempting to strangle Yogi baer to death, shooting his wife Betty in half with an auto loading shotgun, and converting to Scientology.
