It would be irresponsible to recommend actually trying it, but reading some of the scambaiters' postings (see for instance http://www.scamorama.com/) demonstrates some pretty good role-playing.
Additionally, the act of reading around the subject (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scam_baiting) fore-warns people.

We should instate a test for members...emails is one thing, but PMs is really fragging annoying.
