In summary, Brad Christensen used humor and imagination to turn the tables on Nigerian scam artists who had been constantly bombarding him with "URGENT" offers. He cleverly scammed the scammers, taking advantage of their greed and ignorance to make them pay for their own mistakes. Some of his most creative exchanges can be found on websites such as quatloos.com and 419eater.com, where others also share their amusing experiences with scammers. One person even managed to get the scammers to pay for a washing machine and another claimed to have a high position in a fictitious country called Fredonia.

Those people do this stuff too... HILARIOUS

Someone sent the idiots a washing machine once! And of course, since he was paying for shipping, he ended up losing a few thousand dollars!

I would prefer the option in which we would invest the money in my country, the Kingdom of Fredonia. As a representative of Arizona, which is one of Fredonia's six states, I am held in high regard by Groucho Marx, the kingdom's leader.
And people say that Americans are the stupid ones. Priceless.
