I usually get them on an email address different from that which I use on
ebay but I always fill in the form. Last time I gave George Bush's address,
phone, email and fax details (which is a change from the usually obscene one
that I leave). I think it is more sporting to reply. If you have the same
kind of sense of humour do a search for 419 baiting on your favourite search
engine.
