I would recommend against you sending them an email for the following reasons -

They never read your email, you will just get the next email in their "script"
Every time you email a scammer, you give them hope to keep sending out more emails.
If you don't pay them, they will forward your email address to fellow scammers and you will keep receiving scam mails from other scammers.
If you do a search on google for your email address, does it bring up any of your personal information such as name, phone number, home address? If yes, the scammer can do that search and find out where you live.


KEEP IN MIND these scammers are ****CRIMINALS**** and you could be putting yourself and your family at risk by corresponding with them. :(

When you reply to a scammer, you confirm your existence, and that your email account is active. Scammers trade lists of 'good' email addresses amongst themselves. So replying to them is asking for a whole lot of other scammers to bombard you with their junk.
