Talking about gullible, there was a story in the "West Australian" who tried to sell an item on Ebay. A Nigerian national replied offering to purchase it and when she followed it up she was told the Nigerian Government was willing to pay her compensation of US$250,000 but she had to send a transfer fee of $7,000 to get the money. She contacted scamnet who warned her it was a scam but she sent the money anyway and guess what?? No quarter mil has arrived yet. Surprise Surprise.
When granny said "there is one born every minute" I think she underestimated.

It'd be exceptionally cool (read: horrible) if this was true. For those that are curious, here's the origins of this particular tale.
The original article was published here on a "The Onion" style joke newspaper. At some point after it's publication, PopJolly.com ran it as "unverified" then Gizmodo re-published it as a "real" story, realized that they'd been had, did a retraction and swept it all under the rug.
Too late, the story was off and running, screen-capped images emailed back and forth around the world.
Short version - a joke got lost in translation. As an aside, the Sensacionalista brazilian "news" site has it's tag (prominently) which says "a newspaper exempt from the truth". However, they took the results of the story seriously and removed the original photo (from a stock photo collection) from the original story and added a long-ish note about how it was a joke but they chose to remove the image so that the persons posing in the stock photo wouldn't be thought of as being really from the joke story.
