I forwarded the numerous e-mails I had recieved from other scam-artists so he/she can understand where I am coming from.

I love the fact that I hurt their feelings!

You didn't hurt his feelings... you hurt his "personality".

Besides, he's just a scammer looking for a 2nd shot at you...

No, you weren't wrong. A "reliable and responsible businessman in London" would have a bit better handle on the english language.

And I agree with Slugman. Stringing these scammers along can be loads of fun ;)
