This thread livened up again, and I noticed this post. I stumbled across 419baiter.com ten year or so ago. All this in response to desperate scammers in Nigeria who somehow have computer access to the net. The 410 comes from the phone code for Nigeria. The counter-ploys are usually hilarious! The scammers call their victims "mugus", which means "big fool"; ironically, the term is now used to refer to the scammers, themselves. How do you persuade someone who is trying to scam you to send you a pic of him/hermself holding a dead fish on top of their head? Check out a couple of these sites and find out how it is possible to counteract an email from a princess that asks to use your bank account to park a half a million dollars temporarily--of course, you'd get a hefty cut!
