I have always heard about someone getting one of those emails asking to send $10,000 to save someone's life in Russia.  Or maybe one of those where a Prince in Nigeria needs your money to make more money.  It has always been hearsay, someone always knew of someone else who had fallen for the scam and lost a ton of money.  Well, this morning I woke up to this email in my Inbox.

I know that people are gullible to a lot of things in life, but really?  Are there still people out there that think this is their shot at fortune?
