Isn't there a website where pranksters mess with these guys all the time?

I believe you're thinking of http://www.ebolamonkeyman.com

He strings 419 scammers along for as long as he can using stupid and offensive names and demands that they send him pictures of themselves holding up silly signs so that he can ridicule them on his website.

He gets credit for wasting these spammers' time, but I find some of his abuse of them steers into racism, which I'm not comfortable with. These are nasty people who deserve what they get, but there is plenty of fuel for insulting them without using racist terms.

A much more entertaining scam-baiting story is this one: http://www.zug.com/pranks/powerbook/index.html which has been discussed on this forum before, IIRC. I do believe this guy was messing with some very nasty people though, and may have eventually regretted it.
