What if I knock on your door, offer you a plasma 32" TV for £30 brand new. I cant possibly get them that cheap from the supplier, of course it's stolen.
It is surprisingly easy to get arrested for it as well. Victims trying to claim "they never knew it was stolen" often doesnt wash with the police, CPS or courts.Comment

What she got when she opened the box was a lump of wood with an Apple logo painted on it, not an iPad...."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

You can still be charged for it by the police, just as you can be charged for money laundering, even if you dont actually get any cash paid in to your account by a nigerian scammer, just the intent is enough for a formal charge to be made.

If you ever do fall for an email scam, the last thing you want is police involvement.
Recent case in the US, Appellee and v. Tamara Lynn Heid, "A federal grand jury returned a superseding indictment charging six defendants with conspiracy to launder money, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956(h)"
There was a case a while back involving someone in UK government IIRC, who only became aware of money laundering after a while in the department but failed to follow "Suspicious Activity Reporting" which was seen as concealment of the crime.
Laws vary, dependant on the country, but most countries, including ours, dont need evidence of you committing a crime but just the intent to commit the crime, across many different areas of law.Comment
