I actually got a scammer from Nigeria to send me 100 dollars via Western Union.
There sounds like a good story here. And I want to read it

I got a random Skype add one day and started talking to this guy who said he was a Muslim so he was incapable of lying. (This I laughed at.)
Well, we get to talking and of course the usual scam goes through and he assures me he isn't like the rest and I tell him: "If I'm going to send a large sum of money, I need to know you're a real person. Send me 100 dollars through WU, attach your information and I'll send you 10,000 to ensure my deposit."
I thought surely no one would be that stupid (I have no bank account and live in a foreign country, so I wasn't worried about identity thievery) but sure enough -- 100 dollars by WU. Picked it up and had some fun with it.
