This is a real problem in the world, many unsuspecting, vulnerable, stupid as well as intelligent people around the world receive an email saying someone has money for them, millions of dollars, or asking for donations for fictitious, mostly religious organizations and then they are taken for as much money as the scam artists can get.
This post is as much for fun as it is awareness to this practice. The fun part is a web site which is designed to target these scam artists then take them on a proverbial ride as they attempt to get the money from their intended victims.
It is called 419 Eaters. This can be as much fun as it is informative. Take this link to their web site. Check out the site, it will provide information as well as a few humorous moments.
Oh, by the way, this post is not a Scam and is intended to educate as well as providing a few laughs.
The 419 Eaters web site is real and what they do is real and does assist in the efforts to bring these scam artists to light.

Be aware and careful if you ever receive any of these kinds of emails. If it sounds too good to be true, then it most likely is not.
