Why do scammers scam? Because they make money.

When will scammers stop scamming? When they don't make money.

If everyone and I do mean you would just 'take the bait' and allow the scammers to send you their fake checks how long do you think it would take until the scammers waste all their money on shipping expenses such as overnight or next day air costs to deliver those checks?

People come on, I have a collection of checks in my drawer that must number in the twenties by now. Every single scammer who sent me their fake check lost money on me. And soon they will lose money on you. And the next person. And the next.

Repeat after me: When will scammers stop scamming? When they don't make...

No whiny posts, figure it out,

There are a lot of people who do this for a hobby . . . scam baiting

419eater.com is a good site to learn about being a scam baiter.

And I agree, each check sent to a baiter does help waste the time and money of the scammers, but I would recommend that people be safe when they do this . . . do not use your "regular" email account . . . create a new free account with a fake name to contact them from. And send them a fake address to send the check to. I know that some baiters will give the address of a local police station or FBI field office.
