By the way - what is your preferred job tittle? What do you prefer to be called? - 419 scammer? Confidence-man? Con-artist? Flim-flam man? What is the correct term?

Dear 101,
Unlike the majority of people with whom you deal with - I KNOW that you are a scammer. You have admitted to being a 419 scammer. So obviously you can't be trusted. If I pay you before you send me the answers - you will simply take the money and not provide the answers. You might even try to get me to send even MORE money to you - and still you will not provide the answers. We both know that is how you operate.
I will not pay you $300.00 - I'm only authorised to pay you $150.00. I will only pay you AFTER you have answered the questions - not before. Don't bother asking for more money - $150.00 is more then enough to pay you for your time. Don't bother asking for the money first - I won't pay you until I get answers to all 39 questions.

Dear 101,
Thank you for answering. You are the only scammer to have answered my questions; everyone else ether insulted me or demanded that I pay them in advance. What is your mailing address so that I can mail you the check for $150.00? (You don't need to send me your real address - you can give me a P.O. Box number or the address of the cyber cafe if you want.) What name should I put on the check? (Again, you need not give me your real name - I can make it to "cash" if that would work better for you.)
About your answers to questions numbered 4, 15, 17, 28 and 33 - You stated (or implied) that you were scammed by 419 scammers... then they forced you into becoming a 419 scammer yourself? Could you elaborate on this? How did they scam you? How did they force you? Do you work with the same people who scammed you?
By the way - what is your preferred job tittle? Is "419 scammer" the correct term? Or is it something else like "Confidence-man", "Con-artist" or "flim-flam man"? What is the correct term for what you do? What do 419 scammers call themselves?

Dear 101,
Why are you throwing a temper tantrum? I never agreed to pay you with Western Union. I checked your previous emails and you never mentioned that you wanted to be paid with Western Union! If possible - I'd prefer to pay you by check, that way I don't need to go find a Western Union office and take time from my day. Why can't I pay you by check? If you insist - I guess I can pay you with Western Union. Please call me and let me know what information would I need to give them.

Name: Mr 101
Type: Rich Person in Need Scam
Plot: A 25 year old woman residing in a refuge camp in Kenya needed a "trust worthy foreign personality" to help transfer her vast inheritance to the U.S.
Commentary: I contacted this scammer posing as a reporter who was writing a news story about 419 email scams. It was like pulling teeth, but I was finally able to get him to answer all 39 questions in exchange for my promises that I would pay him $150 for his trouble afterwards. He did the work, but unfortunately I ran into some technical difficulties and I was unable to pay him.
Highlights: Check out the Mar 23 email (on page 2) where I analyze and critique the scammer's answers to my 39 questions.
These 7 photos were sent from the scammer in the course of this scam bait:
