It's not quite up there with the pleading e-mails of Barrister Lee Nzugli of Nigeria to help him move $2 million out of his accounts into yours. But it's high on the weird-o-meter, nevertheless.

The Financial Accounting Foundation has posted a notice to the FASB website that "some of its constituents have been contacted by parties falsely claiming to be members of the Financial Accounting Standards Board staff and promoting the sale of certain Sarbanes Oxley compliance materials."

When was the last time a scam artist passed himself or herself off as a member of an accounting standard-setter? Maybe they're becoming more of a part of pop culture. The TV series might be right around the corner!
