They use free email accounts (hotmail, gmail, etc.) to keep themselves somewhat anonymous. Every once in a while I get an email where the header shows where the email came from, usually Nigeria. I use gmail.com for my personas, several of them, end never, ever use either my own personal info, or that of another person. I do have several evil-other-selves who make me do this kind of activity, you know <g>. Read the 419eater.com intro to see how to scambait effectively, read some of the stories of others (I never published any of mine), then decide for yourself if you want to have some fun screwing with these idiot crooks. I got bored with it after a few months, as I really did not find anyone with the kind of intellect that kept me interested. But, for the first few months it was fun indeed!
