 * Keep - This is a prime example of an Internet memeand Internet Vigilantism. This is a growing trend, ranging from women catching indecent exposure situations on subways, to Scam bait through projects such as P-P-P-Powerbook.

This is a very real phenomenon, with online users baiting and/or conning scamers such as Nigerian scammers.

This example in question attracted over 3 million unique visitors, and made headlines. Of some note, I would say. Sfacets 16:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
