Maybe I'm the last one in the world to hear about this, but I just discovered it and I think it's hilarious.
You know all those scam emails from Nigerian princes looking to unload 15 million bucks, blah blah... Well, apparently there are people who engage these scammers in a sort of reverse-scam. Only you don't get money out of the people, but instead engage them in all sorts of time-wasting activities.
For example, one guy had a scammer make him a wooden bust of his head, another had the scammer hand-copy a Harry Potter book.
This web site details the email exchanges between the scammers and the scambaiters, and I've been laughing out loud reading some of these today.
