Austrailian Investment Online Hoax Fools 233

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gullible-surfers dept.

John Larson wrote in to tell us about This ZD Story about the Australian SEC setting up a Y2k scam web site (selling insurance I guess) that apparently fooled over 200 people, and would have netted $4M had it been real. There are a lot of gullible people out there. Kinda scary. But definitely an interesting form of entertainment.
