Actually, my friend and I plan on dragging this guy around a little while. We're going to pretend that we're both clergymen, and he's on a mission in Africa, and that we will pay him (the scammer) money to start a church if he meets us at a specified location. Of course, we'll make it look official (web designer who could make a fake church website, pl0x?) and give him an actual place to go to, and we'll probably tell him to bring a bible and a cross or something so we can tell it's him.

You answered me with something that had nothing to do with my command... What's this going to prove? All it does is waste your time and their time. By wasting time, you waste energy. By wasting energy, you add to the energy crisis in the world. Therefore, you are to blame for global warming.

So what? Life is meaningless. We're all going to die. He can do whatever he wants.

"$17,000,000.00 Million dollars"

Holy SHIT, if he's going to scam someone, he shouldn't at least use an amount that's not enough to pay the US debt a time and a half.
