Hello, as you can read in the Capt Brian Morgan thread scam, I have admitedly been having a blast out of these scammers by gaining their confidence that I am willing to help them by sending them money, and I have come up with elaborate excuses telling them why I have been unable to wire them the money that they need.
I have reached the point in our conversations by telling them that they need to send me a small amount of money to help establish a relationship so that I can in turn send them the $1,975.15 that they require to take possesion of a ton of money that was found in Iraq by Capt.Brian Morgan (which they are posing as a law firm handling the case for him)
My question is...how far should I take this before telling them that I have been playing along?
Or better yet, what if they actually do wire a small amount of money to me in good faith in order to secure a much larger amount from me?
Of course they probably never would do this, but I basicly have them eating out of my hands as far as believing in me to be sincere.

Personally, I would never tell them what you are up to. They will figure it out soon enough themselves (well, okay maybe they would ).

The first thing that I would do is contact your local law enforcement and they would in turn contact the military about this. Also let them know what you have gotten from them with your extra communications.

If by chance they do forward you some money "in good faith", turn that over too. If you keep anything that the scammer forwards to you, and there is ever an investigation, you could be brought into the investigation from the wrong side.

IMHO
