It makes me laugh how they almost all call themselves 'doctor' or 'pastor' or something like that.
I had one from a 'Canadian financier' who wanted to give me lots of money on behalf of an Arab Prince. This wasn't for an apartment, it was because I am such a lovely and influential person.
I am now very rich indeed, but am waiting for Special Branch to appear any minute.
Seriously at the time I wondered if I should have contacted the police, but our FD said she got them all the time and it wasn't worth it. Just take the money.
They're a good laugh, though. I can't think that anybody is really taken in by them. It could be an episode of 'Spooks'
