Couple of weeks back there was an old man in Scotland that fell for this sort of scam, cost him his house… he was quite elderly, so i dont think he understood what was being asked of him… read it on the bbc website so its gotta be real 😛 ---

I too have been very lucky this week: I am Cheng Wang, a legal practitioner. A deceased client of mine, that shares the same last name as yours, died as a result of a heart-related condition on January 12th 2005.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004\_Indian\_Ocean\_earthquake](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake) I am contacting you to seek your consent to present you as the beneficiary to my late client. He has a deposit of (US$19,000,000). This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you against any legal ramification. If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. I can be reached on: [chengwng1@gmail.com](mailto:chengwng1@gmail.com) Best regards, Barrister Cheng Wang.

Really was my lucky day a while back Had this bloke want to buy my car for more than I’m asking - he believes my description without seeing the car - very trusting. He’s sent me a cheque, have banked, now all I need to do is send £2,000 by wire to his agent who’ll pick up the car (the cheque covers the £2,000 plus an extra £500 for my trouble!)… ---
