How Low can you get - tsunami scam 

How Low can you get - tsunami scam

Can you imagine? Just the other day I got an email that was one of those 419 scams...you know, the email that has to do with some guy who has tonnes of money locked up in a bank, and for whatever strangest reason he cannot access the funds...so he emails you for help...blah blah blah, but here's the usual scam: you need to pay money that they call "fees" up front to access the funds. These scammers operate from their wacked reasoning that if you westerners are so greedy , then you deserve to be scammed. More here: 419.
Anyway, I got this email. but this time, a huge wacked twist: the guy cannot access the money because the tusnami damage is preventing him from accessing the funds! How wacked is this? Just how low can one get?
