Woman Scammed out of $400,000

wow......

you know what i think? i think it's a lie...i think she's faking the amount she's lost so that pple can 'help' her out. I wonder how many people have given her money already

i mean seriously, can anybody be that stupid?
 
for the life of me, i dont understand why anyone would feel sorry for people in this scam. i cant believe people would be so stupid at this late date. however the entire basis of this scam is the unrepentant greed of people want to commit fraud in an another country and get away with it. these suckers are quite lucky that it wasnt for real or they would be in big trouble. people who would never dream of committing check fraud against say, a swiss or french bank or a russian bank or a bank of singapore, get greedy if they think its just a little rinky-dinky african bank they can rip-off. WRONG! :D the scammers know this and take advantage of thier greed, contempt and ignorance. sure the scammers should be punished. but the "victims" shouldnt get a dime back. any monies taken from the con artist should be given to charity. i am not buying that this lady didnt know it wasnt above board, else she would have hired a probate lawyer to handle a multimillion dollar inheritance. she got greedy, she got bit. if there is someway to make it clear to people that way they wanted to participate in (check fraud) in totally illegal, and yes even in Africa, there would be less of it. these suckers wouldn't have been silly enough to fund an illegal drug trade or a kidnap scheme with the promise of a rich payout, they need to see this check fraud scheme in the same light.
ps- on a tangent topic. although i do feel sorry to the lonely-heart "victims", nevertheless, they need to learn they cant buy love.
 
that sucks!!!! :X

Ow man ... now THAT totally blows. But go to 419eater and you will read some pretty funny stories of a guy who scams these guys back.

Also check out the hall of shame picture threads ... lol ... that is so funny they have like guys with bread on their head and making tatoos n stuff.

One guy totally flips out because he had to travel around the globe only to find out he was being misled. Very entertaining ;)
 
of course she was motivated by greed, but sucks for her
 
She was interviewed on the Tom Lykis talk radio show today. For those of you who don't know who Tom is, he has a national talk radio show. Locally here in California he's on FM 97.1.

After listing to this woman, she does sound really pathetic. She's too trusting of people and sounds like she doesn't get out much. Either that or she's not telling the truth about everything and just needs mental help. But she's an educated person, she's registered nurse and she admitted that she has heard of Nigerian scams before but was stupid in believing everything this guy was telling her.

I really feel sorry for her husband. Now he can't retire as he wanted to and has to continue working, probably for a very long time.
 
the nigeria scam has been around for so many years...still got people got scammed ?? i think they NEVER watch NEWS or newspaper...
