Man Arrested for Pretending to be Ambassador from Made Up Countries

It's an Onion story that's become reality--unlike Seborga and Westarctica. These countries do not exist.

The Guardian reports that police in northern India arrested a man who is accused of running a fake embassy from imaginary countries. He even had cars with fake diplomatic plates.

Why would he do this? Police say that he scammed money out of people seeking overseas employment in these imaginary countries. It's unclear how much money he bilked from his victims, but police recovered approximately 4.5 million rupees ($52,000 USD) from the plush, rented building that served as the face of his operation.

There have yet to be responses from the governments of Seborga and Westarctica.
