I once was informed by the lawyer of my “half-brother” (a prince) about an inheritance from our “common father” (a sheik) after he had an affair with my poor mother. I asked for an advance and was never contacted again. Still laugh on that one on mother’s day.
The opportunity of a life time to get scammed. The Nigerian government overpaid on some contract, and we need a front man to get it out of the country before they discover its error."The goal of the criminal is to delude you Ziggy, into thinking that you are being drawn into a very lucrative, albeit questionable, arrangement. Unfortunately I know of a single elderly woman that got scammed. They told her that she won the Lottery in Las Vegas. These guys are slick. They mailed her a lottery ticket and asked her to fill out the information. She did and within in a few weeks she was called and said she won the lottery. They convienced her that it’s all legal and true. And yes, she gave them money. She was told not to tell anyone about her winnings so they could keep using her. That went on for over a year. Sad to say that she believed them and did not tell anyone until she lost a lot of money.
