I was sent a blackmail letter. The sender, who said they'd hacked my site, used my address to send it to me! Because of that, I was unable to forward it to the govt. fraud division.

There are alot of videos on youtube where victims chat with scammers and play dumb with them ends up where the scammer gets mad when he finds out he is being taken for a ride and the victim is happy he waisted the scammers time.Watching this gives clues as to what todo if you run into a scammer.
