Nigerian Scammers Claim Another Victim

Posted by michael on from the merry-christmas dept.

A Florida newspaper ran a story yesterday about a local retiree who fell hard for a 419 scam. The story goes into depth on the methods used to play on the target's beliefs and gain his confidence - in this case, the target (who lost $320,000) is still having a hard time accepting that they were thieves. Truly remarkable.

    OLD PEOPLE SHOULD BE KILLED. Or at least not allowed contact with non-old people.
