While it's generally not a good idea to ever respond to spam, there
are a few souls out there who HAVE replied to the Nigerian spammers
from a throwaway address, just to scam _THEM_. One guy even once got
the scammer to come to the US (and get immediately arrested)..
Over the summer, in a usenet newsgroup, a guy from Mississippi
pulled a hilarious fast one on a Nigerian scammer with some good
old-fashioned redneck humor. :)
In fact, there is a small but growing cottage industry of yanking
the Nigerians' chain right back at them, scam the scammer et al.
