OK just about everybody has heard of the "Nigerian bank scam".
The one were some guy sends out e-mails claiming the urgent need to move a bunch of $ out of the country and offers a big cut in exchange for setting up a bank account in the US to wire it to. Along the way, the gullible are duped into sending them money for "service fees", "necessary certificates", etc. Of course the money only moves one way--from the marks to the dudes in Nigeria, or where-ever on earth they really are.
Apparently, the guy on the site linked below scams the scammers by pretending to be a mark, and has produced some pretty funny stuff. Recommended.

My browser (or decrepid box), for some reason, stalls, wheezes, chokes and gags a lot more than usual bringing the page up, but it's worth it.
EDIT:
If possible, this one is even funnier:
