I was listening to an recent episode (which originally aired 12
Sept. 2008) (this afternoon while running some errands) of the
always entertaining This American Life -- on my local NPR
station -- about some "419 Baiters".

As described on the This American Life website, in this episode
contains "...stories about people who take the law into their
own hands, even when the line between enforcing the rules and
breaking them gets kind of hazy."

Also mentioned: 419 Eater:

This was a really interesting episode, and given my line of work,
especially entertaining.

You can find the entire episode online here at the This American
Life website:
