I think it was Al Jazeera who interviewed a Nigerian University student in Lagos some years back on his involvement with these type of scam. He would go the Cybercafe before and after lessons. He said that out of 100s and 100s of email sent out, he would have 2 types of responses. One would be from the potential victim.

Its the second response that I found interesting. He said 90% of his time was spent on engaging with smart alecs who know its a scam from the very start and pretend to be victims and start exchanging emails. He said he plays along as it keeps him occupied while waiting for a real victim to respond. He said that he goes to the extent of pleading for mercy, not to call the Police, citing the multiple wives he has to support, business failure just to add to the drama. He said these smart alecs will use screenshot of their online conversations and go to YouTube, Twitter etc and boast how they scammed to scammer. LOL!

I sure that a charming 419 scammer always tells the truth when he's showing off on TV in the spare moments he has between ruthlessly stealing the savings of gullible people.

It's no different to a pub owner who listens "intently" to a customer who tells him how to run a pub. They are there the whole day and they might as well be entertained.

Might be time to reconsider that mutual friend....
She’s the one top left. She used to work for us as a house help until one day she said she was sick and needed treatment. I asked her had she been to see a doctor. It’s not that kind of sickness she said. In other words she thought someone had put a spell on her. People down here take this stuff very seriously.

Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
@Blue Hills - you should come visit. It'll be entertaining.

The address @classic33 put is in Ravensthorpe and is a semi. I know the street; this isn't a big town although I'm up a hill on the edge of the town.

It's not that bad here, with decent countryside around me. There's a bit of culture (Dewsbury Minster, old mills). And housing is cheaper than much of the area surrounding Leeds.

well may take you up on that - especially if "entertaining" is a euphemism.
Have long heard of the place but never been sure where it was - clearly has slipped into the gap between places I do know - Leeds, Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford - am a fan of places/life in the gap so will def check out - it does sound interesting from a quick scan of wiki, though I was too nervous to click on the link - the town that dare not speak it's name - whatever that was about.
