A little off topic for the listserv, but following the e-mail fraud thread:

'This is a wonderful multimedia account of a prank some folks pulled
on "Prince Jubril Turey of Sierra Leone," a no-talent grifter with a
Yahoo account who tried to pull a "419 Letter" (Nigerian gold") scam
on them. The "victims" of the scam concocted a false identity and
began stringing the Prince along, getting him to stand in public
places in Ghana and do the chicken dance (a recognition sign), and
generally sending him on a merry chase around Africa. The site
includes the email exchange, the prince's voicemails, and some lovely
photos of the alleged gold.'
