Someone just pointed out to me a site called 419 Eater<\/a>. It is dedicated to the \u201csport\u201d of \u201cscambaiting\u201d. Basically there are people who will string the scammers along, and even get them to pay for and\/or send things (and in one case even take a picture of themselves shirtless with a logo painted around their breast!) as part of sealing the deal. There are other similar sites like Bait a Mugu<\/a> and What\u2019s The Bloody Point?<\/a>.<\/div>\n
