Why stop communication with scamer?

I have not posted my scamer yet, plan on doing so in a couple of days. I have known from the start that this person was not who he or she said they were. My question is why should I stop communication with them at this time? I have been playing along with their game for awhile now, and I have now turned the table on them. Should we not allow ourselves a little enjoyment? Any advice at this point would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

If you have used any real life information with the scammer, then you should drop him immediately. Whilst it doesn't happen often, it is entirely possible that he has connections that could pop by for a less than social visit.
Eve though this is only a remote chance it is never recommended that you continue with causing a scammer grief is he does have your personal information.
If you have used fake information, or you wish to learn how to continue getting your own back on scammers, try this link :

Welcome to Scamwarners Anne.
There's no reason not to bait scammers as long as you take precautions such as not doing it from your real life email address. Our sister site www.419eater.com deals with that aspect of dealing with scammers, so I suggest you join. There's a lot of useful information and advice there.

An email and phone number are enough to get you harrassed by an angry scammer, and often those can be used to get even more information. Scammers can get quite angry if they figure out you have been messing with them. While your scammer is sitting in Africa and is not likely to turn up on your doorstep, he can still cause you a headache. We have seen scammers retaliate in lots of ways. For example, the email address allows them to cause problems by putting victims on dozens of spam lists, spoofing their email addresses when sending out scams by the thousands (so you get to deal with hundreds of bounces and angry responses); getting baiters' or victims' email accounts closed--in all cases you may lose your email or the account may become pretty much unusable. These or other attacks on your email can cause a bit of a headache for you.

Scammers have done other, more serious things such as: using baiters' or victims' names/addresses/phone numbers in their scams (there is a thread here on SW with several posts by a victim who was bombarded with angry phone calls, letters, emails, accusations, and was reported to the police by several victims because an angry scammer had his mule put her address as the return address on several fake check shipments--when the victims realized they had lost money, they started harassing her); or using their info to set up scam profiles. One scammer even sent his victim's employer emails completely trashing her.
On top of this, death threats and curses are fun trophies for baiters, but can be a little unnerving when the scammer knows who you are. There are other examples, but I'll stop here. The end result is that cleaning up the mess can waste your time and cause you grief. It's better to drop a scammer if he has any of your real info to avoid these complications.

Baiters use completely fake information--this way if the scammer tries any of these things, it can't affect them. We may lose an email address here and there, but it won't affect us too much, and our personal and professional reputations remain intact.

Thank you for the advice, this is something that now I may need to put a lot more thought into. I had not thought of quite a bit of these things and definitely need to. Maybe a few more days of entertainment may not be my best coures of action. Thank you for your prompt and knowledgeable reply.
