Play along, but send a nasty picture (2 girls 1 cup?) and see if they notice.
i agree! say the "contract for purchase is attached; please sign electronically and return in a timely manner", and name the attachment "contractdoc.png/jpg/jpeg (whatever)"

Thought this thread was going to be about something else. Then I realized this isn't Backlot.
Almost posted in the BL, along with the dudes email address.

No response on my Paypal or CC request - guessing they do not have those types of payment options in Nigeria.

Unfortunately transmission of such images to another person in the US is actually illegal. While you might say "but they are scammers!", it is not illegal to trick stupid people.
