What happens when you reply to spam emails?

We've all been there - you check your emails and you unread receipts in your Junk folder. More often than not, we are told to ignore these emails and delete them as soon as possible. But what if you actually got in touch with people behind spam email? Luckily, comedian James Veitch has volunteered as a tribute and spends ten minutes talking about his encounter with a spammer, the end result will have you in tears!

Aside from the humour, there is a something worthwhile you can take from this. If you want to experience something like James, set up an email and engage with this potential scammers, while you are wasting their time, you can play with their emotions, have excellent stories to tell and prevent vulnerable users from being scammed. Just bear in mind you should avoid using your main account(s) or giving away any personal details.
