omg, I love trolling these things so much. One time, I told them I was so thankful that I won this money because I had cancer and had run out of money to live on. Did they have any shame or guilt? No, they told me that they'd try to pay my medical bills too if I sent them an extra amount of money.

So I just played with them and wasted their time for the next 2 weeks.

I've always been of the opinion that anyone falls for a scam this dumb deserves everything that happens to them.

I always give them information of famous celebrities, using a combination of Wikipedia and Starmaps....

Can someone explain how they could scam you with the information they're asking for. Surely you'd need more information?

Thats just the start, they dont just ask for your social security number right off the bat. They make the people ease into giving up more and more information.
