Google "scam baiting" and get tips on how to beat them at their own game. Lead them on, make them waste a lot of time, make them run around to Western Union, the bank, etc. You can even get them to go to the airport and hold up a silly sign to meet you, their supposed mark. Teach those con men a lesson!

That phone number is in Canada, specifically Nova Scotia. If they get caught in Canada, they'll do Kindergarten time. You want them charged by the US authorities. File a complaint online at FTC.gov. The FBI and Canada's RCMP are working together to catch these guys. You can read about a recent arrest if you search "sundip dhanda" on Google or on the FBI website. When they are caught, I'm sure you'd rather see them get US jail time and financial penalties, rather than the pretend "get out if you comb your hair" sentences given out in Canada. I'm glad you checked it out first.
