Amazes me that these people who find all this secret hidden money don't just open an account themselves and steal it themselves.
They have to ask random strangers to help.

Without victims, the Scammers would wither up and die, so I suggest that the Gummint should introduce retrospective drowning at birth for these suckers, so that there's no chance that they will reproduce.

After all, the Gummint is quite happy to backdate legislation that is unfavourable to the general populace, so why shouldn't they do something nice for us once in a while?

Cheers
