There are no new scams under the sun.
How very dull.
An appeal to the governments of the soi-disant nation states:
I would like to see new and more entertaining scammers, please.
How is this for a new scam idea - send me 500BTC and I will send you an image of my own creation, with a resolution of 1280x960 - great for a desktop background.
Oh sorry - someone has already SUCCESSFULLY done this back in the day.
