We've all received the emails from the Nigerian Scammers. They have been given the moniker '419' Scams for the section of Nigeria's penal code that relates to this activity.
Well, seems some inventive folk are scamming the scammers. In fact, Ira Glass's This American Life did a show on them not too long ago.
Reading through what they make these scammers do--sometimes even convincing them to put their lives in danger--actually gave me some sense of schadenfreude well-being.

I heard that show on the local NPR station. It was hilarious how these guys led the scammers on a wild goose chase.
