I found the site 419 Eater via Samizdata. 4-1-9 is the reference number in the Nigerian penal code for Advance Fee Fraud. Given the number of Nigerians who are using the internet for their scams, even the US Secret Service has started warning people about "4-1-9 Schemes".



Mike, also known as Shiver Metimbers, has been keeping the scammers busy. He responds to these crooks and pretends to have a lot of money for them. His real intent is to waste as much of their time as possible. Click here for a sample of his correspondence with a scammer. He even gets the scammer, a "Reverend Oduobi Tokunbo" to send him a picture.



I love it.
