This happened nearby a month or two ago but I never posted, searched MOH and found nothing on it so I figured I would finally get off my butt and post.
When it first happened my first thought was "ya know, things like that never happen to me"

After making the late night talk show rounds and not being smart enough to keep their mouths shut, the truth surfaced.

Now I am glad things like that dont happen to me.

I also remember hearing the story of finding the money, and then later hearing about them being found out. To be honest, if I had seen a picture of them before I found out it was fake, I probably wouldn't have doubted them, because these guys look like criminals straight out of a disney movie. |

That first link was the WORST pop-up add page EVER.
Anywho, interesting. |

Well, we don't have pop-up blockers at work, so it's not like I could do anything about it. But 5 minutes later, I was still getting ads coming up out of nowhere. |
