One Day This WILL Happen, and You Know It

Guest Post by DMP

One day in the future, someone in an embassy or palace in some third-world corner of the globe really will have control of a huge amount of some nation's sovereign wealth. One day this poor soul will find him/herself fleeing from a violent revolution. As a last desperate attempt to protect said sovereign wealth, this individual will randomly select a complete stranger (probably chosen off of Facebook because he or she has a "kind face" in a profile picture) to email and beg to be allowed access to that stranger's bank account, just to transfer all of that sovereign wealth out of danger.

It won't work of course, and all of the money in question will ultimately fall into the hands of the new dictator.

I'm not telling anyone to start trusting those emails. I'm just saying that one day it will happen, and do you want to be responsible for a huge windfall to a violent dictator?
