Ever wondered what would happen if you replied to a scam email, giving Barrister John Lateef or Sir Morrison or whomever a chance to explain why they have a jaw-dropping inheritance waiting for you? 

One bold, brave and bored comedian, James Veitch 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.

All that spamming led to enough laugh-out-loud conversations to fill a book. Our new series "Scamalot" brings a bunch of those brilliant exchanges 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.
