    For the record, the scam in all its variations is known as the 419 Email Scam:
    Advance-fee fraud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Here's some sites that teach you how to exploit the exploiters:
    Welcome to the 419 Eater
    419 BAITER - 419baiter.com - Games - Nigerian 419 scam baits

    Encyclopedia Dramatica has an article and some examples of people scamming the scammers too, but I'm not going to link to it. A lot of people complain about getting viruses from the site.
