With Leo's permission, and his right to edit:

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce another entity that serves to advise and protect against the classic 419 scammers.

[A 419 fraud; any of the various advance-fee frauds in which the scammer solicits up front payments promising large sums of money]

The group, known as the 419eaters, spend part of each day running elaborate cons on the Internet scammers. They consider themselves enforcers of justice.

Funny and educational. Like scambusters, these fine people devote their personal time and efforts doing their best to protect us from scams.

Call me suspicious, but scams look like scams [imho]. I find it comparable to someone approaching you on the street, and asking the same question or you to take the same action. Well, comparable except for one thing...you can't see the person. It's the classic scenario of "psst, hey you - yeah you, come over here" coming from the dark inky shadows of an alley. Don't pay attention, don't respond.
