Genius... though he was never heard from again. I sometimes wonder if he got caught for mail fraud or if the scammer hunted him down and killed him or something.
I remember seeing that one on the telly I think. He'd a been a fool to have any physical address listed to him that could be traced back. Not sure how easy it is to get someones street address from a hard wire web connection. One good reason to go 3G, as I am now.
