Scambaiting

I first heard about this a while ago from my brother, but I hadn't seen it until today. A scambaiter, pretending to fall for a West African scammer's ploy, counterattacked by promising scholarship money to ppl around the world who would act out scenes from iconic films and tv shows. The scammer(s) took the bait and reenacted the famous "Dead Parrot" Monty Python sketch. I'm including links to the original and the reenactment. Pretty amazing.
