Well, I recently searched the web for scamming, and came across a new idea called scam baiting.
Scam baiting sounds hard, but really isnt. Some people have made upwords of $20 by SCAMMING SCAMMERS!

(Btw, site is funnny as hell)
It is really simple, and it just involves a fake e-mail along with a mailbox and some English skills.
This is really social engineering at its best.
For the passport suggestion -
That one made me lol.Quote:
One favourite method is to select a random (and large!) .DLL file and rename it to something like "passport.jpg". Of course the scammer will not be able to display it on his computer, but that's not your fault is it?!
Look on the trophies section, that one cracks me up.
ROFL! There's one story or w/e about that one guy "Samuel Eze" being scam baited, good laugh, good laugh.
