Harry Potter and the Chamber of 419ers
419eater.com is a site dedicated to baiting scammers, wasting their time, and making their lives miserable. You 419 them right back! In this particular anti-scam, the scammer is convinced to copy an entire Harry Potter book by hand. Brilliant!
This cybersport is not for amateurs. Do not try it on your own. If you have a gift for making people miserable and you want to use it for good not evil, the site has a mentoring program for scambaiters.

That scambaiting thing is classic. Been waiting for something like that for ages!
An Aussie comedy team called The Chaser did a couple of cool spam (and spam-baiting) pranks. Have a look:

Cheers.

Retort food? What you eat when you have dinner by the tea.

i think it means the food is processed by retort sterilization.

Retort foods are for when you go to beach retorts.

I’ve been trying to get these scammers to send me money by Western Union. I’d make up stories about needing a certain amount (usually a low figure like $100) before I can activate my bank account, etc. So far nothing.

I’m reading through my fourth… operation as I’m writing this. A total gem of a find.
