A man you'd never met offers you a $9 million inheritance in exchange for a reasonable $900 wire transfer, your SSN number and banking information, you know, just all the things you'd send via email to a stranger.

In the Season two premiere of Scamalot, comedian James Veitch investigates an email scammer who makes him such an offer. From the comfort of his bathtub, Veitch not only negotiates this outrageous inheritance, but also attempts to solve a bit of a murder-mystery.

For two years, Veitch continued to engage with the slickest of scammers and the result was some hilarious verbal jousting. Mashable's original series Scamalot continues to bring some of these conversations to life in the second season of the series.
