There are others -- some of the scam scammers are pretty good, but MUI it can be very dangerous.

I'm familiar 419eater dot com but this must be a new one? I'll book mark it for reading later. The best story I ever read was by this one guy who identified himself to the scammers as "Capt Shiver Me Timbers"! When the scammer asked for a picture he wrote back that he didn't have a picture but recently had a painting of himself done so he sent him a picture of the Gorton's Fisherman!

The best story (I think you can find the result somewhere, since I watched it) was getting one of these scammers to do and record the Monty Python "dead parrot" skit.  One of the funniest things I ever saw. Other things were getting permanent tattoos that say phonetically" I am an idiot" or something like that and manually transcribing the entire Harry Potter book series.
