AUCKLAND: Has Tonga's elderly king fallen for a billion-dollar email con trick that sends most people reaching for the delete button?
King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV has lost his impoverished realm a fortune in the past to foreign fraudsters and some fear the 87-year-old may be being duped again.
He has surprised parliament with news that unnamed foreign investors want to deposit $US1billion ($1.35billion) in Tonga's tiny central bank.
The absolute monarch gave few details except to say the money would be used to fund projects in Tonga.
Pro-democracy politicians said yesterday the king's latest scheme smelt like a notorious type of internet scam often linked to tricksters in Nigeria.
