Carving up Nigerian Scammers

War in the Middle East... flamewars on Dean's World... You want a nice little World Wide Web break that will warm your heart? Check out this story.

As a side note, this is old, but along the same vein if you like pranks on scammers. Something Awful did one of their own:Another Nigerian Prince Needs Help!
What is delightful about this is the scammer sends him an e-mail right after the police notified the would-be target that this person was indeed guilty of wrong doing. Hopefully the IP address that the e-mail had attached to it had helped the police with their efforts. :)
