I remember a website about 10 years ago that scammed the scammers. They ended up getting them to pay them money. It was hilarious. They also made them take pictures next to these symbols that clearly resembled male genitalia. Wish I could remember which site it was.
After he received money from the scammers he sent them a photoshopped picture of him with the money with the aftermath of a big party and a lot of stuff that clearly shows it was all a prank.
Oh boy, I love these emails. I guess some people must fall for them, otherwise they wouldn't keep sending them!
Cheers,
Adam
