Leamington man loses $150,000 in Nigerian scam.
How are people STILL falling for these scams? There’s plenty of publicity about it, in print and on the TV, yet people still fall prey to them. I suppose it’s simple greed kicking in and overriding the truth. It’s like compulsive gambling – keep going, and eventually there’ll be a payout.
I suppose anybody reading this (all two of you) already know better than to go sending some random stranger all your money, all your friend’s money, and any other cash you can scrape together. It’s just amazing that to get so far in debt, these people actually end up doing ALL the things you shouldn’t do online.
Amazing, and quite sad for these people.
Oh, sorry about one of the links being the Daily Wail.
Its like natural selection I guess, the weak people are being ‘culled’ in a sense. Still, makes you wonder a few things… how stupid are people? If you had £130,000 to begin with you should really be in a good place already right? How much do postmen make? Why should you work hard at a job when you can just rob people blind?
