How do you deal with nigerian scammers?

Oh, I hate those scam messages. I received so many of them. On my email inbox, on my ebay auctions, on my dating sites, everywhere! The nigerian scammers have invaded the internet. They are everywhere! I even see their scam messages in my dreams!

What I really hate is when they registered on my dating sites and pay with stolen credit cards to spam my members. Every month, I loose money because of chargeback fees!

That SUCKS- how much are you fees everytime you get charged back?
You'd think your c. card company would have caught on by now- has the volume of fradulent charges been pretty high?

I get a lot of nigerian spam myself...I used to laugh some of it off, but its a little ridiculous. I say we send a few planes over there to 'take care' of those folks. Then we'd see who was laughing!

Track them back and put malicious code on their machines? There could be some fun in this madness. :D
