Mmmmm, Beer.

An Australian woman was recently convicted of fraud when she tried to sell cases of "Duff Beer" on the internet. Click here for story. For those who don't know, Duff beer is the brand on the Simpons.

This scam is not as farfetched as it sounds. During the early 90's, a few Australian breweries did make "Duff Beer", until the lawyers at Fox heard about it and forced them to stop. The cases in existence immediately became collectors items and can sell for $1,000 a case.

The funny thing is that this woman used her actual name and address when she attempted to run this scam. Maybe she had just a bit too much of that wonderful Duff.
