I once got some spam from someone (allegedly) in Saudi Arabia, where (allegedly) a wealthy British oil company director or similar had (allegedly) died without heirs, and they were (allegedly) looking for someone to pose as his son, to help them aquire his legacy.


The funniest part was that - in an apparent attempt to pass this scam as morally justified, they claimed that if no "heir" was found, then all the money would end up in the hands of "corrupt officials" Cheesy

There's a website of folks who spam these spammers.  They actually got some guy in England to front some money on a spam deal.  The URL is buried somewhere in my "favorites"; I'll see if I can find it.
