    From The Millionaire@VERT to All on Fri Oct 16 06:29:23 2020
    Guys, never write back to a spammer. That's a good way for them to get
    personal information on you. That's why they do that in the first place. They'll never leave you alone again.

    Just keep replying with "ok" to whatever they send you... they
    eventually get annoyed and give up.

    My friend had them "meeting" him at an airport in Madrid to hand over money for some nonsense. He had them running around the airport looking for him
    for ages. Of course, YMMV... you may noth want angry scammers looking for you!

    One option is to block them.
