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.
