Internet nostalgia... remember those spam emails that flourished a while back (I'm sure they're still around) where the sender pretended to be the son/nephew/cousin of some African despot who had $10/$20/$30 million bucks in - as a rule - oil money but needed someone in the west to fence the money?

Bikes are the new oil. Bikes are hot. First it was the adult entertainment industry and now it's the scammer-rama crowd.
