What's her phone number?

We need something like a financial death penalty for scammers and identity thieves. I like the idea of confiscating and selling everything they own and everything that can be connected to them.

Then we'll lump massive jail time on top of that.

Otherwise, this mess is only going to get worse.

indeed..gonna be a real lowlife to prey on an old person

 

[hurricane]

the scammers knew all your info?

and that is some of the craziest shit i've ever heard man sorry

no they didnt know anything about me..just a name.. after she sent the money.. she got in contact and they couldnt answer a dam question about me

 

[nimbus]

did she try calling your celly first?

not even bro! lol.. she panicked.. was one of the all-time stupiest moves ever. but like i said she is old and alot of old people dont make rational decisions

it happened at 7 am .. i wouldnt have been up to answer my cell phone anyways ..but she didnt even try sadly,until hours later when the money was long gone

 

[nimbus]

yea man i can't say i wouldn't have done the same thing if i was in her shoes

Tell her for future references to save the 10 grand for your commissary.

It'd be hard not to panic for sure.

Sorry to hear Cane!! It does sound well organized for sure. It's always tougher too when there's not much you can do but just eat it.

 

[lartinos]

That sucks man. Hopefully you can find them.

 

[redshirt27se]

damn man..sorry to hear that.


i've noticed a big rise in these kinda scams lately. i never used to get any, and lately i've gotten close to 10 attempts in the past two months. i don't even know how they get my info, but i've had phone calls telling me i've won millions and i've told them to fuck off. i also got a check for 10 grand in the mail the other day..it looked legit, but the letter enclosed with it was super LOL.
