Sounds too good to be true, right? Lets find out just how good. According to a handy precious metals calculator we found on the Web, 450 kilograms of 22 carat gold is worth more than $12 million.
Franck Gbedji is nothing if not generous. A $12 million return on an $11 thousand investment is probably outrageous enough to make even Bernie Madoff blush, and we certainly hope none of the countless thousands of people who've received this ludicrous solicitation are naïve—or desperate—enough to fall for this classic 419 scam.
