I actually don't think you waste as much time as they waste yours, because most have prewritten responses to various situations. Jodi did play someone along, but it was a little different, because this was a member of Yorkietalk, and she wanted to be sure he was a scammer. Seriously there are thousands of different companies that do this, and unless you can get the police involved where they actually catch the guy as he goes to pick up the money, I think it's a huge waste of your time. That's the best "mother" advice I have, so I leave it up to you to decide.  |
Even if you are a buzz kill
that is a lot of good advice!!! I would like to know how they got her email.. was it from YT or anther source -- that would be my concern. Internet scams are so sick-- but I guess like the TSA they are a fact of life now. At least we have buzz killers to keep us on the right path
