I got this email today and instead of giving them any information I responded like 15 separate emails calling whoever sent this original email a dickhead and a bunch of other words and comments i dont want to repeat on here.
I was wondering? is it bad to reply to these scammers even if you only do it out of trying to scare them? I didnt give them any personal info.
