Standard scam emails

I had no idea that 419eater existed, that this site existed, or any other sites existed into defeating the scammers. In between playing Counter-Strike:Source, and being really drunk, I started having fun with these various emails. I had no idea, and I know this site does not endorse baiting, but I have been doing this for a long, long, time. I thought I was the only one. Wow. I was wrong. Here is an email I got a little while ago and it now lists bank names/emails/phone numbers which I believe you research???
I use Aldrich Hazen Ames as my name. For no real reason other than I've been using it for a long time. Heck, he's never getting out of Allenwood Federal Penitentiary. Also, I have 2 emails from "The FBI" I think are funny, but about the same as below. Here is the email:

EcoBank The Pan African Bank

Welcome to Scamwarners.

and I know this site does not endorse baiting

Not so. There's no conflict, but we take a different approach to 419eater that's all. The two sites are related, and we work together. If you want to bait, we encourage you to join 419eater.

EcoBank The Pan African Bank and Sun Trust Bank are both genuine banks, but scammers frequently use the names of genuine businesses, as well as financial and law enforcement agencies, FBI etc. The names of people and email addresses have nothing to do with them of course.

Hi Gunslinger and welcome,

As Mr Tambourine Man has suggested we are quite happy for you to bait scammers, it wastes their time and resources thus keeping them away from potential victims.

If you also post the details of the scammers you have baited it will also help to prevent scam victims.

Both sites have the same overall goal, but there are 2 distinctly different appraoches to achieving it.

419eater is prodominantly for encouraging baiting while Scamwarners is more about education and scam victim support, most of our members here are also members at 419eater although many of us use different names over there
