How do you know that?

What if Jim Robinson had to resort to this kind of thing for fundraising? ....?

"Hello, I run a website in the United States of America, and a conservative donor died right after inadvertantly making a $30 Million donation to my site. I am unable to hold funds in this amount in my non-profit account; however, if someone I could trust could hold it for me, I could slowly funnel it back in and do a great deal of good for our conservative activities. Your name stands out from the list of active conservative activists as being one I can particularly trust. In return, I will let you keep 15%. I need help immediately; please answer this email as soon as possible. I know you will help me by keeping this completely confidential."

Don't think this just happens on the Web. A few years ago I got into a conversation with an Australian tourist who proposed a similar scam where he would deposit his money into my bank account. At the time I politely declined his offer but now I wish I accepted and had some cops to meet him at the bank. Why? Because he probably tried to pull the same scam on others. This scam is VERY COMMON down here in South Florida.
