Harvard Professor Weldong Xu has confessed to raising $600,000 on the false pretense that the money would fund SARS research in China. His reason? He wanted the money to invest in a Nigerian e-mail scam.
Obviously, scientific knowledge does not necessarily translate into common sense...
LOL - that reminds me that, just before I came to China, I was the recipient of a Nigerian e-mail scam. Fortunately, I knew about this kind of con, and so I had days of fun playing along with it. I went so far as to say I had cash available for them, and to ask them for their bank details!

Too fun! I think there've been a few other people on this board who have strung along the 419ers.
