Nigerian Email Anti-Scams

We've all heard the stories- innocent computer newbie receives an email from a "Nigerian Prince", and unwittingly gets pulled into a scam that often spirals into chaotic loss of money, pride, and possibly sanity. As much as I'd like to laugh at the people that actually fall for those scams, there's a much better thing to laugh at.

Now, these scammers are, more often than not, not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. If they had a brain, they'd be doing much more productive things with their time. Thus, a passtime of a group of folks on this forum is to 'bait' the nigerian scammers. Once the scammer thinks they've hooked a gullible customer, the baiter proceeds to waste the scammer's time, money, patience, and sanity- you'll have to see it for yourself.
