Nope... Scam!

Next time have some fun with him and string him along... the more time he spends with you the less time he can scam the clueless

I forwarded the numerous e-mails I had recieved from other scam-artists so he/she can understand where I am coming from.

I love the fact that I hurt their feelings!

You didn't hurt his feelings... you hurt his "personality".

Besides, he's just a scammer looking for a 2nd shot at you...

No, you weren't wrong. A "reliable and responsible businessman in London" would have a bit better handle on the english language.

And I agree with Slugman. Stringing these scammers along can be loads of fun ;)

Especially those with "deceased relatives in Africa who would like to share their inheritance with you because you are a respected foreigner"
