It's amazing how stupid the scammers can be, you would think they would instantly spot it when somebody tries to play them at thier own game...

Doubtlessly this enterprising chap will need a few grand up front to 'grease the wheels' so to speak. But what can we lose? It sounds like we're gonna be minted.
