Irish Man Rescued After Falling For 419 Scam

Luck of the Irish holds true. Even for the crushingly stupid.

From the Register UK:

An Irish man who was kidnapped after falling for an email fraud scam was rescued when police raided a hotel in the capital of Ghana where he was being held captive.

James Lafferty, 49, from Ennis, Co Clare, had been held hostage for about five days while kidnappers demanded money for his safe return. He was freed after police received a tip.

Dumbass.
