Does anyone else here toy with scammers -- at least occasionally -- to figure out what their strategy is?
I'm no "Mike Rafone," but I do give occasional presentations on how normal people can make life harder for cyber criminals. So, it's good for me to play along sometimes to keep abreast of current trends.

If that sounds like "Gang Leader for a Day" but for modern cyber crime, that's exactly what I want to read.
"Know thy enemy" and all that.
