Do people really fall for these scams? Or are they just a front from a 419er?

I fail to see the scam. Maybe they are overestimating potential earnings, but that doesn't make it a scam.

Interviewer - I see you have CNNA, CSIIP, CBeebies, impressive, but what practical experience do you have?

True, quals and certs are useless without experience.

But for those with experience, certification or qualification to back up the practical experience can really help make you more employable at a better wage level.

I have'nt looked in to those certs before but £1.5k doesn't seem too bad. Some certs like ethical hacking/security can cost £500-£2k. CCNA minimum costs a hundred or two for the exam, more if you want to attend prep courses. Some people spend thousands on MCSE/MCP ....

I teach a course on how to buy lottery tickets, for £200 a pop. Potential earnings are in the millions.

Candidate - err, got a Netgear 10mbit hub at home. It's got four ports!

Oh, and plugging wires in, unplugging them, making little coils with them, pressing the little button on the front...

Bagpuss looks tempted but he'll need to run it past his girlfriend and accountant first.
