I would have thought...

...that 419 scams would get progressively more clever and creative. Like late last year, when I was contacted by a close confidant of the late Muammar Gaddafi, who needed help in moving millions of dollars in Libyan oil money that had been overlooked in the course of the revolution. If that pitch had been combined with a .ly e-mail address, I think it would have been a well-rounded and effective proposal.

So I am pretty disappointed to receive this today:
