Dave, there are a few free apps out there that will covert text conversations into text documents. I've used them several times in the past.

When you live in a nice neighborhood like Lagos, a $1000us off one good scam will buy you a nice motorcycle and pay the years rent. They can afford to put in some time at the local internet cafe in hopes they get lucky once or twice a year. That's the sole reason a cashiers check ain't worth the paper it's written on any more...

But since you seem to have the right attitude for this, might I suggest reading more about the sport of Scam-Baiting. There is an online trophy room at 419eater.com where people share pictures of stupid things they have convinced scammers to do in hopes of getting paid. That sites founders almost succeeded in a getting a scammer executed back in 2007. Sent him north from his homeland to Chad, where he didn't speak the language, and... Well I won't ruin a good story, but read "Act One. Hanging In Chad" about 1/4 down the page. Super funny, was an actual NPR broadcast.

Enjoy your phishing
