Man replies to scam emails — and hilarity ensues

We’ve all hovered between the reply and delete buttons wondering what may have come if we’d just given Barrister John Lateef a chance to explain why he has a jaw-dropping inheritance waiting for us or asked Sir Morrison a little more about that investment scheme.

One bold, brave and bored comedian, James Veitch, stopped hovering and hit reply. What ensued was a soap opera so delicious that he decided to hit ‘reply’ again. And again and again for two solid years.

The result of all that spamming was enough laugh-out-loud conversations to fill a book – literally – and our new series "Scamalot" is bringing a special bunch of those to life.

In our first episode – "Gold" – James turns the tables on Solomon Oddonkoch, a man with an interesting business proposal to share ... and an interesting way with words.
