You know those annoying scam emails you get from places like Nigeria or Ivory Coast, promising you millions of dollars if you can just help some poor slob of a bank manager or oil minister fake some documents?
There is a whole sport called scam-baiting. What some guys do is pretend to be interested, and string the scammers along--for weeks. Sometimes they even get trophies, typically ridiculous photographs or fake documents.
Two of my favorite sites for this are 419 Eater and The Scam Baiter.

awesome...that's funny as heck. I'm glad people are striking back... It always makes me sick that some old grandmother loses her life savings to the scammers.
