What planet has he been living on?
Has he only just got the internet?
Just goes to show that even "educated" people fall for scams just as he did at the beginning. |

Interesting to read through the replies, most seem to be
"Who would fall for this?"
Sadly, as we know, too many. |

Still its good to get some exposure. And the way the article is written will keep people reading as they would probably be feeling the same.
I like how the writer of the article refears to the lad as a she.
Is there actually any ladettes out there doing this? Or is it a general lad thing? |

Good ol' Daily Mail readers (for the non-Brits out there they have a reputation of being a tad conservative and may I suggest, a slight leaning to the right.)
Anyhow, loved the comments on the article left by the readers, one of which is :

�200 was for their service, �300 for secure transfer of the money, I smelt a rat and left it at that, much surprised that Microsoft lends it's name to a scam like that

Yes. How dare Microsoft lend its' name to the scam. |

From the quick look I had, it would appear he is an 81-year old Oscar-nominated actor, film director (Whistle Down the Wind, for old UK film buffs) and author who didn't quite graduate from RADA but did serve with the Intelligence Corps in WWII
I suspect he's playing dumber than real for the sake of a good story.
If you're really interested you can read about him here |

I think that BRYAN FORBES knew it was a scam from the beginning and just baited the scammer to get a good article for the general public. |

I usually reply to their email asking the following question.
Are you aware of 419s? I generally hear nothing more, however I do suppose if one has the time one can have some fun with these folk.
