Is it ok (ethical) to play with scammers?

[Voyager]

That being said, I had one guy, MANY years ago, tell me how he 'scammed' his scammer. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE this thing that he did.

He sent her a laptop. When it got there, she had to pay a certain amount in taxes. $200-$300, if I remember.  Remember, you need to specify a large price in order for her to pay more.

Punchline, catch, spin, best part?

He lied and did not send her a laptop. He sent a binder with keys through the rings. Size is right, weight is right. Surprise!!!

Quite a strange story, IMO...

In all the cases when I & my friends had to pay tax for goods shipped with incoming international mail the notifications about tax payment were issued & sent only AFTER the parcel has been opened by customs control officers, and the contents have been actually checked.  

Never has it been done based solely on the CN23 customs declaration filled by the sender...  

Or maybe he was just bragging... 

IMO, guys shouldn't waste any time trying to get revenge on a scammer.
Is your time free? Mine ain't.

I agree,

Spending additional time with a scammer is equivalent to paying his dues to
the Scammer education and improvement society. Letting them know how they
were caught will improve their tactics next time. Why let them learn from their
mistakes? Why not instead spend efforts on finding a high quality woman?

Bill, I agree entirely.

That being said... if you ARE going to dance with a scammer, you should do it in style like this guy:
