Here's the best part of the site:

The guy scams the Nigerian scammer out of money in an fairly elaborate set-up.
I was just about to post that. Damn, and the sad/funny part is I'll still get a few of those emails a year. I read an article about a year ago and it mentioned why you still get emails like that. Cuz some people are stll falling for it. I wonder what the exchange rate is in some of these countries?
Well, according to
http://www.xe.com/ucc/ and the fact that the 419 site listed some of the countries a lot of these scams originate from:
1 USD = 134.881 NGN Nigeria
1 USD = 8,952.00 GHC Ghana
1 USD = 541.752 XOF Togo
1 USD = 2,479.65 SLL Sierra Leone
1 USD = 6.31098 ZAR South Africa
Well, you could imagine how much richer they would get from a few hundred or thousand US dollars.
