The world deserves better fraud

You know those bogus e-mails that litter your inbox with promises of riches if only you’ll divulge your bank account and PIN numbers? I got one today from a woman who’s dying of cancer and wants to will me $1.5 million:

I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to the you for the good work of God, rather than allow my relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds ungodly.
Well, praise God!

Alas, she says I can’t come over in person to pick up a check (so as to begin my godly spending promptly), or even call to tell her how much I know the Lord (& Taylor’s) would appreciate her generosity:

At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my relatives are around me and my health status.
At the moment right now, her relatives and health status are keeping her off the phone, but not the Internet?

Gee, when you put it that way it sounds like a scam... boy, do I feel stupid giving her my account number and PIN. Now I'm starting to think I'll never see that 1.5 million.
