You should mess with them. The fashonable thing to do for a while when the Nigerian scam emails were going about was to get the person to "prove" that it wasnt a scam by getting them to write a sign saying something like "I blow goats" and take a photo of themselves holding the sign. Its a bit of a giggle and cheaper than going to a movie.
