2. Business Week – Zimbio – April 20th 2012 - A certain “Sehwan
Jung” in South Korea has been sending a number of desperate
requests for funds over Twitter: “I am in urgent need of
money.Can you lend me 500,000 dollars?I will make it up to you
later.” A diabolical plot, indeed, though Mr. Jung’s scam is unlikely
to work. For one, people can see everything someone sends on
Twitter and quickly realize he’s sent the exact same message
over and over. For another, he is tweeting almost exclusively to
celebrities, including Channing Tatum, Rosario Dawson, Carly
Simon, journalist Nicholas Kristof (who today sarcastically
answered, “Sure!”), and the foreign minister of Bahrain, Sheikh
Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa.

3. “Now this one is a real winner,” says Dan Ring, a spokesperson
for Boston-based data protection company Sophos. “Sehwan
Jung’s list of celebrities is almost as entertaining and as
random as his actual request, and it’s one of the more
optimistic requests out there. I hope there’s no way someone
will fall for this.” - Group of Springhill South Korea

• In this excerpt, one “Professor Farnsworth” selects you to
survive a man-made black hole:
“… The truth is that this experiment that CERN are
conducting is extremely dangerous, and could cause global
disaster. This experiment has a 95% of causing a black
hole, thus swallowing a large area of the planet. The
scientists do not want you to know this as they know it will
cause panic. However, I can help you.

5. I am arranging for a number of selected people to be
evacuated to a safe location on an island in the South Pacific
via aeroplane. You have been selected from random to take
part in this evacuation, thus continuing the survival of the
human race …”
