ROFLMAO. I like it :-)

I'm not sure I'd want to be playing these games with the people who
perpetrate the crimes. Lots of stories of victims who try to follow up
to get their money back being met with physical harm, some deaths.

After all, the 419ers most likely have your name and domain name from
your email address. From that, should they be interested in doing so,
they can probably find you physically.

Don't think that retribution is nearly as common as the fear of
retribution - for someone to fly in, hunt you down, bash you over the head,
risk being caught, lengthy prison sentence, etc, you'd have to be a serious
thorn in their side, or pretty unlucky.

The death mentioned was recorded as being the result of a meeting in South
Africa. Wonder where that meeting was arranged - some dark corner of
Johannesburg, perhaps? Immediately alarm bells start ringing with that
one....
