"I have received e-mails from this scam at least once a week."
After I sent the first $100k, I sort of gave up.

I have an Australian friend who negotiates with them. He had me ROFL with his description of the replies he got to his offers of kangaroo meat to be shipped to Nigeria against their letters of credit to his bank in Oz. He drove such a hard email bargain with one scammer that he was accused of being "an unethical person!"
However much fun it might be, I've heard that communicating with these people can be very dangerous. I can't recall the particulars but the more they learn about you the more sophisticated some of their scams become. There's an email addy you can forward 419s to, either the FBI or the Treasury Department. I noticed that the number I received dropped off significantly after I alerted the government to a few dozen emails. I used to get 3-4 a day.
