ANST - Period Scams?

[Joe Wolf]

With all the talk recently of computer viruses and prayer hoaxes (all off-topic) I begin to wonder about such 
scams in the period we study.  Papal Indulgences aside,  (and I won't go into whether these are a scam or
not! Too heated of a topic!) does anyone know of a medieval equivalent of a chainletter or get-rich-quick scam?
