Netsafe has created an online automated chat-bot that replies to scammers wasting their time instead of yours!

You simple forward any scam email to me@rescam.org and their robot begins asking a series of questions to the scammer, effectively wasting their time instead of yours. Your email address is never revealed.

The bot called Re:Scam has a number of different personalities designed to mimic real humans and so it goes on and on asking all sorts of questions for as long as possible.

You can find out more about Re:scam and how it works at www.rescam.org
