Out of sheer bordem I googled "419 scams". The list came up with the site 419eater.com, so I clicked and the proceeded to spend a good chunk of my day reading about the stories and laughing my ass off at the images posted. But as I continued to browse the site, I got worried that these people could potentially be in life-threatening danger. People have DIED messing with these types of scammers. Kidnapped and tortured and them murdered, all for money. So, do you think this is harmless sport or potentially dangerous, and just really insanely stupid?

It is for the most part harmless, you don't hand out your real address and the chances of them coming for you are SO slim. Most of the time the people who were killed brought it upon them selves.
It's sort of like the running of the bulls.

Stupid or not, I've spent a few more hours reading the testimonials and watching related videos. This crap is funny as hell. XD Kudos to the baiters.
