This is not as dumb as that bridge in Brooklyn that I bought from a nice Nigerian man.
He said he's sending me a refund wired directly into my bank account as soon as I send him the account information.
I actually responded to one of those once. At the time, I wasn't living too far from Switzerland so I wrote back that the Swiss needed a minimum of $10,000 to open an account of that type and that I would be willing to come up with half. If he'd send me a money-order for the other half, I would handle all of the Swiss banking transactions for him.
Funny that I never heard back from him.
