Thanks to hth who reminded me via email of The Church of the Red Breast and a most elegant scamming of a Nigerian Scammer. It’s a rather long read, but worth (re)visiting.
Enjoy.
"In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history will be the majority and will dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance."
I did enjoy that., having read it before. Turning the tables on scammers is a wonderful, if time consuming idea.
Now if only I could find a way to counter the people that are still trying to compromise my site with their SQL injection attack. They’ve upped the ante and are now hitting my site at least once a minute, at least according to the rate of error catching emails I’m getting — yeesh!
I’m seriously considering responding to this particular series of attacks with HTML that tells them that their IP address has been recorded and that their illegal attempt to compromise my site has been reported to the authorities.

I like it.
