(9,663 posts)15 years ago or so, I played one of these email scams out for several cycles on an AOL junk account. The hook was something to do with the Princess dying in an aviation accident, and her dowry being tied up in another country. Whoever I was dealing with slowly got angrier and more aggressive. The guy finally wised up and told me to F.O. It was fun for a couple of cycles but I just don't have the mean streak to have carried it too far.
