"George, there's a Mister Adetola on the phone, he wants your bank account details as he needs some collateral to access a fortune that has recently been left to him. He says he will give you 5 million when he gets his money."
Mabel passes the phone to George.
"You sniveling little maggot, trying to swindle an old age pensioner, you can stick your fortune where the sun doesn't shine."
George hangs up, fuming.
Mabel starts to read the local newspaper. "Erm, George, have a look at this."
'Local Man Inherits 80 Million Fortune' is the headline.
"Oops," says George.
