			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some months ago I blogged about my adventures with an <a href="http://unixwars.com/2009/04/30/dear-nigerian-scammer/">online scammer</a>. I had some good laughs with emails going back and forth, and it was really funny seeing what kind of things actually makes people take  the bait. Disturbing, but funny.</p>
<p>Well, it seems like all the charade I had during several weeks is nothing compared to what this guy accomplished: he actually managed to <a href="http://www.thescambaiter.com/forum/showthread.php?t=109">ship a lot of worthless heavy junk, at the scammer&#8217;s expense</a>, of course. The death threats he received afterwards would make for some of the best tag-lines ever.</p>
<p>It turns out there is a whole Community out there that have made a hobby out of <a href="http://www.thescambaiter.com/">scamming the scammers</a>. Looks like fun!</p>
<p>They even have a brand of laptops to bait the scammers. The name is &#8230; wait for it &#8230; <a href="http://anuslaptops.com/">Anus Laptops</a>. As you can see, just the brand name is more than enough to produce some peculiar conversations. OMG! Simply genius!</p>
