What Are The All-Time Top 5-10 Harmless Internet Scams? This very well-educated scammer (below) had a whole bunch of people believing he was from the future, during 2000-2001 (I did not believe).

(or even have a Top 5 list??) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Titor "According to IBM engineer Bob Dubke, Titor's statements regarding the IBM 5100's ability to emulate and debug mainframe systems were correct.
