Yeah, you’d like to think it’s so absurd that no one would ever try that, wouldn’t you.
(Fun fact, long before the rise of e-mail, snail mail had its own version of the Nigerian 419er scam known as The Spanish Prisoner; he was this poor imprisoned former aristocrat or military officer—or something—who knows the whereabouts of a secret cache of vast wealth he’d certainly be willing to share generously with anyone who’d send him some money to help secure his release. Somehow, of course, no amount of money sent to this prisoner ever managed to secure his release.)
