You can have a bit of fun with this!
If you have 10 minutes & 20 seconds, this always gives me a laugh:
"More adventures in replying to spam - James Veitch" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4Uc-cztsJo
"I'm in." And the number of a bank!
I've seen that one a little while ago. It's pretty good. It was the best 10 minutes to spend revisiting this gem.
But I don't have the patience to play with scammers. I would rather steer those losers to a bogus website "for more information" and make sure they get a taste of their own medicine.
Ideally, I would prefer a way to blacklist an IP (based on the number in the email) and have it permanently blocked at the ISP level. But then it's much faster to just delete those pieces of junk. However, I hate having to pull those in on my dime to do that.
