I enjoy reading reverse scam websites, in which people who receive scam e-mails try to turn the tables on the spammers, and get them to do things like mailing them pictures of themselves in their underwear, filming themselves reading scripts, etc.
This was a funny one - a guy got a spammer to send him two wood carvings.
