I even at one point nearly set up a business, just to get the scammers to phone me on my £1.00 per min line, and leave messages! or fax me at £1.50 per min...... But decided against it in the end!

419eater string these guys along, the site had some excellent stories and the best was pretending to be a nonprofit organisation which invested in various projects including a "football team" in england called A***BANDITS. They got the scammers to send in photos of themselves with their friends and families all holding up signs saying A***BANDITS to prove that it wasnt just one person doing a scam.
Also they scammed one scammer out of $300 by getting him to make a token payment - they gave money to charity.
