    As far as I recall, the Crazy Frog worked out pretty well as a scheme for the guy who made all the money off of it.

    People do actually pay money for gold.
    It's not some crazy scheme.

    I'd say they're raking it in. The price of scrap gold is at an all time high and lots of people are broke and having to sell off assets to maintain their lifestyle. All signs are good for gold dealers.

    I encourage people to request an envelope (free of course) and fill it with rusty nails, paperclips, toilet flush chains. I'm sending mine off tomorrow. It's full of absolute junk. They'll probably be obliged to send it back as well!

    :) Just put your local bank/TD or anyone else that's pissed you off as the return address.
