You should have a look at the 419 baiters - there's entire websites dedicated to winding these scammers up. ("419 scam" comes from the Nigerian penal code for this type of fraud)

The last one I read, the scammer (who was "a wealthy Nigerian diagnosed with terminal cancer who wanted to give his money away to good causes"), was convinced that the guy he was trying to scam was an arts dealer - anyway, he got a carved bust of his head out of the scammer on the prospect of a potential comission. Needless to say a least a year on, the scammer got nothing, hadn't dies and had completely forgotten about his illness, and then claimed he was too poor to send another item over!

These thing go on for months at a time - constantly winding the scammers up & often getting meaningless trinkets or pictures of them doing silly things, all under the pretense they might actually get some money :D
