419 Scammer Gets Scammed

johnduffell writes "There's a lot of awareness of 419 scams at the moment, including a report from the BBC of a baiter who managed to get $80 and a birthday card by courier! He did this by convincing the scammer that he was in the Church of the Painted Breast and there's even a photo of the scammer with his breast painted! Presumably the scammers are hoping that the scammees are as stupid as they are."

What about if the government of nigeria doesn't give two dry rat turds about dealing with their scammer population?

They actually do, since they represent a percentage of the GNP (no exact figures but a non 0 value), they want them to rbign in as much foreign currency as possibel. So they make it hard to extradite, hard to track, and support them so long as the heat is low and it costs nothing.
