What to do with the Nigerians now - Help

I have managed to get 3 different credit card numbers from this person. Now what? I have call each bank and reported the cards and given as much information as each bank requested.

Now I want the Nigerian to go away. I bet I get 3 emails a day asking for a confirmation number and when to expect their phones.

Anyone wanna help me think up a good lie to get me out of this, but leave me "available" to assist in the future. It was actually kind of fun for a while, but now I need to move on.

Thanks for the help.

something about a family emergency not allowing you to be online much, that you'd be happy to assist in the future but are afraid you'll not be able to complete this transaction with them at this time.

Tell them the charges are pending approval from the Credit Card company. As soon as you hear from them they will hear from you. Maybe that will shut them up for a bit.

i haven't read any other posts about this, but I get tons of nigerian emails for ordering. I have my email filter all of them to a fodler and then I go through once a week to make sure nothing real has slipped in there, but otherwise, I ignore and delete.

Yep, block, ignore, and delete whatever happens to filter through.
