Honestly, they must think we're idiots

Found a website, dressed up to look like BBC News. URL in question was about 80 characters long.

It purports to make you a millionaire overnight, as per Richard Branson and Bill Gates, by the magic that is BitCoin. A user, Zach, chimed in saying he had earned $4,500 in three minutes last night. The site was even obliging enough to display a "profit counter" - up $5 trillion from this time last week.

Suspicious, no?

If you really want to get rich, check out the Bogleheads wiki.

OMG... On closer inspection, the bank quoted was the "Bank of Mellon".

I *think* I can conclude this was a wind-up...

The companies selling travel insurance sure do think that people are unable to properly quantify risk. If people were able to do statistical analysis and properly gauge risk most travel insurance companies would be out of business.

Suspicious, no?

If it was the Bank of Thornton Mellon I’d be a lot more interested….
