Report from the UK. I'm a British prince. I have a business proposition for you. It could be financially very lucrative.

Having left the EU, we are finding it hard to make ends meet. If you send me £50k,I will be able to release £100m frozen in evil EU banks. I will give you 50%.

For fuck's sake Harry.
Chat GPT warms me that this is likely a scam.

The offer being presented sounds too good to be true and the request for money upfront is a common red flag for scams.

The UK now replaces Nigeria. Bravo! It's come a long way.
Brexit has to be good for something.
The British prince guy was a fraud. I'll be honest with you, I'm a bum but God be my witnesses, if you send me $100k, I'll unfreeze for you $50,000 in a Swiss Bank (not Credit Suisse).
Ohhhhh, reverse UNO cards are tight!
