A tv show of a world wide crime buster who uses the internet from his New Orleans Home to fight crime!

A friend a I were doing an internet search trying to buy a monkey. We responded to an ad and were contacted within seconds from someone in Cameroon. We were asked to send money via wire but after several measages we convienced them we were expats living only 2 hours from them and arranged a place to meet, (in front of a local bank who had a LiveWeb cam). At the same time we contacted local police in the area and asked/ reported what we were doing. The next day we sat in front of our Laptops and watched the police arrest them. It was priceless and all done from home. I would like to do a tv show and/or setup a non profit and raise funds to have many people doing the same thing. Any other ideas?
