    Do people really fall for these scams? Or are they just a front from a 419er?

    Bagpuss looks tempted but he'll need to run it past his girlfriend and accountant first.

      Yeah.

      Interviewer - I see you have CNNA, CSIIP, CBeebies, impressive, but what practical experience do you have?

      Candidate - err, got a Netgear 10mbit hub at home. It's got four ports!

            I fail to see the scam. Maybe they are overestimating potential earnings, but that doesn't make it a scam.
