(but of course, I don't--that would be illegal in addition to confirming your own email address).

But I do compile a running document embedded with all these scam emails and periodically do send them to the AG's office asking them to intervene. Several years ago, I received a small settlement from a class action suit for scam phone calls. I guess no one bothers to file them any more.
