Do you ever reply to email scams?
Like an email scam that sais like give us your social security number and we'll send you a billion dollars etc. Sometimes I reply to them in a smart alek way. My favorite is: Yea I'll do that, I'll send you my name, social security number, bank number, and all that stuff. Oh and by the way does this scam actually work?

never reply to them there might be a virus in the email and if you reply it lets them now the email address is active.
This scam does actually work on some idiotic people, but then I'm sure there isn't much money with them anyway.
I never reply to those. It's frustrating that they are so bold to keep doing this. I guess they can get away with it.
I would love to forward every email of these that I get right to the FBI.
I already know that I don't know anyone who is rich, overseas, and a stranger would never give me money.
Never reply to email scams.
They're not always "real" scams (oy, that sounds weird), but sometimes they're just spam (mails sent out hoping for a reply - ANY reply) - if you reply, you confirm that your email address isn't just an entry on a list - it's real.
sorry to much to read plus replying to scam just brings in more scam
i ignored the first 2. when they sent the 3rd one i replied back that if they ever emailed me again, i was going to hack their computer and take them down. they never emailed back again
its sad that they do actually work, but you shouldn't reply to them because it lets them know you account is active, which means they will send even more emails.
nope
