Suspect allegedly claimed to be adviser or ambassador to made-up places such as ‘Seborga’ or ‘Westarctica’

This was obviously a bad thing he did because he was taking people’s money on the premise that they would be able to get work in a foreign country, but at a certain level you have to be impressed by the sheer audacity of the scam!

Fake embassies of places like "Westarctica" or "Seborga" - far out! Law enforcement, of course, can't take a joke no matter where in the world.
