Just started an email dialog with a nigerian scammer! Need a good reply.
Received a Nigerian scam email 4 days ago. I had an old ad on craigslist (like 3 months ago) for a hunt on my property (antelope and sika deer). Anyway, this email pops up from Mr. John Smith (you can't make this up, folks).

Howdy Mr.J.Smith!
Thanks for your email. Our ranch is open for hunting in the month of May. We've had many hunters here this year - been busier than bees making honey. Unfortunately, we are all out of deer and only have two small antelope left - Becky and LeRoy. Because of this, we are only selling hunts for our snipes. The good news is that there are many of them. Your boy would have no problem getting some.

Please let me know if he is interesting and I'll be happy as a hound dog to set it up. .

Much thanks,
Billy


ok, i forget about the whole thing. Then, this afternoon i check my gmail account and discover this reply from J. Smith

snipe defined:

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

A snipe hunt, a form of wild-goose chase that is also known as a fool's errand, is a type of practical joke that involves experienced people making fun of credulous newcomers by giving them an impossible or imaginary task. The origin of the term is a practical joke where inexperienced campers are told about a bird or animal called the snipe as well as a usually preposterous method of catching it, such as running around the woods carrying a bag or making strange noises. Incidentally, the snipe (a family of shorebirds) is difficult to catch for experienced hunters, so much so that the word "sniper" is derived from it to refer to anyone skilled enough to shoot one.[1]

A wild goose chase can also be more serious, either a deliberate attempt to thwart an opponent by sending him/her off on a quest based on misinformation, or a mistake on one's own part leading to a hopeless quest.[2]

John Smith,

You sir, have the heart of a lion and the eye of an eagle.

Just today we got some new stock in, Becky gave birth and the new calf is just beginning to learn to walk, It would be a great oppurtunity for you to come on down to (Enter ranch, or hunting range name here).

With the change in season we now have more and more birds and wild animals flocking to (Enter ranch, or hunting range name here) and now would be the perfect time to hunt and kill some newly borns and to observe the parents of said newly borns weep over their corpses before putting a 35 through their skull.

A full day's pass here will cost you $100 per person + $50 for each calf, deer or antelope kill, Bird kills are free of charge.

We ave ammo stocked if you need to buy any, and the cost of this depends on the calibre.

Please bring your own weapon, A hunting jacket will be provided if needed.
