This nonsense far predates the internet - and computers - and television -
and radio. Wasn't it Phineas T. Barnum, the Sage of Bridgeport, who opined
that "there's a sucker born every minute?" ;-)

I wonder if he's siphoned enough money out of naive folks' accounts to
afford an M7. A fellow I work with believes absolutely everything he reads
on the internet and in email (like all of those silly hoaxes generated
after 9-11). This Nigerian fellow probably makes a decent living preying on
people who somehow think that putting something on the WWW makes it true.
