I can't be bothered to look it up, but I know there is one where someone got
some real gold from a scammer. The scammer claimed to have gold of X % purity,
but the baiter requested a sample so he could get this verified by a
laboratory.
So the scammer sent a bit of real gold! The person doing the baiting then said
he had the gold tested and it was not of the purity claimed, so wanted to
renegotiate the price. Eventually the baiter sent the scammer a certificate
confirming his stupidity.
