Few things in this world are worse than spam emails. They clog up your inbox, waste your time, and are usually so poorly written that it’s practically insulting.

Enter James Veitch. Instead of deleting his spam emails like most normal people do, he decided to tackle spam head-on by responding to his scammers directly. What followed was a delightfully unexpected correspondence.

Here is the first email James received from a scammer. Seems legit enough, right?

James concluded their correspondence by sending this photo of himself.

James still continues chatting with scammers to this day and has even made a separate email account just for his scammer friends.
