It still blows my mind that anyone loses money on the 419/Nigerian scam. I got three today in my Hotmail box. They basically admit up front that they're criminals, but they promise to give you some money if you help them, so you wire then $10,000? It's completely insane.

Ever wonder what happens if you reply? Here's where it goes from here. Here's another webpage devoted to the fine art of Nigerian counterscam. I'm off to work.
