Oh, no, I pissed one of the scammers off! :)
Apparently, they really don't like it when you insult them. I received THIS reply after I sent my canned message-- frankly, baiting these scammers is a good deal of fun, and if anyone wants to try my method, go ahead. I also urge EVERYONE, as soon as they get a scammer's message, to write them a similar letter to mine, then send their e-mail, with full header attached, to either abuse@hotmail.com if they're using a Hotmail account, or abuse@yahoo.com if they're using a Yahoo one-- invariably, scammers use one of the two free e-mail providers-- guess they don't know about Google's G-Mail or G-Mail is just better at keeping them off of the servers.
Following is the full message series-- from "her" response to my "insults", my response to "her" initial e-mail, and the initial e-mail. You can now tell that this "Roseline Amma" is totally a scammer, because nobody that was really seeking to transfer money would do something like what "she" did. Frankly, I think this is pretty hilarious.... she knows I got her, she knows she can't use Hotmail anymore because her account has been suspended, so what does she do, USES Yahoo!
Just received another reply from "her", here it is.

I can see that you don't have any work to do that is the reason why you have time to write all this bullshit in the name insult.

Melinda Harkema <mharkema@yahoo.com> a écrit : We both know a simple truth—that you are not in fact who you say you are, and that this e-mail to me is an attempt to defraud myself of money. I also find it quite amazing that this exact e-mail that you’ve sent me is on a well-known “Nigerian 419” scam watchlist, word for word, everything except for your latest e-mail address the same. Perhaps you don’t know the law, that you’re ignorant of the fact that this is a crime not only here in the United States, but no doubt in the country you’re REALLY in though of course the authorities of your country are as completely crooked as you yourself are. Perhaps you think that Westerners are all “stupid” and that’s why you’re sending this out en masse. Apparently you do believe that I’m ignorant enough to fall for it, which of course is NOT the case, as I belong to several of the aforementioned scam watchlists and know to watch for your kind. The website you got my e-mail address from specifically asked that those that are perpetuating the scam that you’re attempting to pull NOT write me, which leads me to believe you’re completely ignorant in addition to being completely inconsiderate. What you have done by ignoring my wishes means that you are now engaged in a second (or third) crime—that of harassment. You have also violated the policy of your ISP and e-mail provider, so yes, after sending this to you, I have forwarded your initial e-mail to that provider for them to take action against you.
I haven’t always had xenophobic ideas, but it seems everyone from Africa is a scammer such as yourself, and so far, all that have ever written me from the whole continent have been cut from the same dirty, smelly cloth as you are, which is a sad thing. I had high hopes of meeting someone from the African continent that was actually someone worth knowing and defied the stereotype, but so far, all are like you, and as a result, useless to know.
NEVER write me again, under any circumstances, with any e-mail address or via any other method. I WILL NOT help you in your fraudulent schemes, and I will report any and all e-mails, including this one, to the proper authorities, including but not limited to the United States Customs Service’s Anti-Fraud Task Force, the FBI’s Computer Crimes Unit, as well as your ISP/e-mail provider.
You are not due ANY respect, because you have disrespected my wishes. Thank God you have a Yahoo address, because I can and will be reporting you to them for using their e-mail in an illegal fashion.

DEAR,
With due respect and humility I write you this proposal
which I believe would be of great interest to you.
I am MRS ROSELINE AMMA, the wife of the late DR,

sum of $30,000,000,00 ( THIRTY MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS ) in two trunk boxes which I deposited with
a security company here with my first son 's name ( prince Amma).
For your information we did not disclosed the real content of
the boxes to the security company and we do not wish them to know this under any circumstances. Rather, we deposited the box as containing family valuables. Meanwhile, I want to leave Cote d' Ivoire entirely with this money for investment in your country because of the stable political situation and mostly for the future of my
children. I therefore require you to please assist me in
the following areas, hence my children are still underage.

sole beneficiary, to enable us transfer the money into your
country.

project where this money could be invested.

transaction. We have it in mind to reward you handsomely
for your assistance.
We are prepared to give you 20% of the total sum, while 5%

for my children. Do not hesitate to contact my son prince
