I've often though about replying to see how long I can string them on for. There is a whole forum dedicated to giving you advice on how to do it, but I just couldn't be @rsed in the end.
Seen some funny threads over the years where people have done it. But to actually get stung

been stringing one along for a few months now, somebody pretending to be a ukraine woman who has "fell in love with me" and needs money for travelling to come and live with me
i have been feeding him/her fake money transfer numbers for a while now, but have simply gotten bored with it all
this other person is getting more and more desperate, went from sending me pictures of some ukraine woman to the latest one which is "topless"
although he/she claims that the face is blanked and the hair is different, so it can not be traced back to them and bring "shame on the family"

Who actually cares about this sort of thing? Is it not more comical than anything else, its like saying " Yeah so I threw 50p in this wishing well, hoping my horse will run out on a 1001/1!
I won
etc
