Hehehehe, another one that made me laugh was the one mentioned on a tv programme about a year ago. Some enterprising man had put an advert in a national newspaper which said something along the lines of "Send £15 cheques payable to John Smith (not the actual name used) send to PO Box --- Kent. Hundreds of people sent cheques although the advert made no specification about what the money was going to buy. All these disgruntled people then tried to invoke legal action regarding their money and found that they had no claim as they willingly sent cheques and weren't pressurised, the advert never claimed that they would get anything in return for their money. How gullible are some people????
