I wish I could remember where--I think it was on public radio here in the
States--but I once heard a segment on a couple of people who scammed the
scammers and actually got them (the "Nigerians") to send money. The revenge
was not as sweet as it sounds, though; the scam-the-scammers seemed to think
they were successful because the "Nigerians" are themselves so successful
that it's worth it to them to send someone money on the possibility that
they might hook a sucker that way.
